Description:

DOMED (Omeprazole) belongs to a class of drug known as PPIs (Proton Pump Inhibitors). Controls hyperacidity. DOMED checks an excessive secretion of HCl and thereby regulates pH value of stomach and works in decreasing the amount of acid which is made by the stomach. Usually seen in symptoms like acid reflux, ulcers and difficulty in swallowing.

Omeprazole acts as an acid-blocking drug. Omeprazole is a weak base and is concentrated and converted into the active form in the highly acidic environment within the parietal cell where it stimulates the acid pump.
