Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API)
Omeprazole
Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI)
The first widely used Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI), marketed globally since the late 1980s. It irreversibly blocks the $H^{+}/K^{+}$-ATPase enzyme system (the proton pump) in the gastric parietal cells, resulting in powerful and sustained reduction of stomach acid secretion. It treats GERD and peptic ulcers, and is a staple in *H. pylori* eradication therapies.
