The drug is based on omeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), which inhibits the secretion of hydrochloric acid in the stomach. This is the most effective and well-studied member of the PPI group, widely used in international treatment protocols. It is recommended for hyperacid gastritis, gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer, gastroesophageal reflux. Omeprazole enhances the activity of antibacterial drugs, therefore it is suitable for the treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection.
Omeprazole belongs to the group of first generation PPIs along with pantoprazole, rabeprazole and lansoprazole. All these drugs can act as substitutes for Omez, since they have the same principle of action and similar effectiveness. Omez's analogues also include esomeprazole, a second-generation PPI, the effect of which is 10-15% higher.
