Cygnus

Effective Relief from Acid Reflux & Heartburn

How It Works

Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that works directly on the acid-secreting cells of the stomach:

1. Acid Suppression (Proton Pump Inhibition)

Omeprazole binds specifically to the H+/K+ ATPase enzyme system (the "proton pump") at the secretory surface of gastric parietal cells. By inhibiting this final step in acid secretion, it significantly lowers the acidity levels of the stomach.

2. Enteric-Coated Protection

Because Omeprazole is acid-labile (destroyed by stomach acid), it is formulated as enteric-coated pellets. This ensures the active ingredient passes through the stomach safely, gets absorbed in the small intestine, and reaches the bloodstream to carry out its acid-suppression task.
