Proton Pump Inhibitors (Omeprazole)
for Acid Reflux
The most effective medications for acid reflux. Reduce acid production by blocking the proton pump in stomach lining cells. Available OTC in many countries.
How it works
Irreversibly blocks H⁺/K⁺-ATPase (the proton pump), the final step in acid secretion. Reduces gastric acid by over 90% at standard doses.
What to watch for
Long-term use can reduce magnesium and B12 absorption. Do not stop suddenly after long-term use — rebound hyperacidity occurs. Consult a doctor for chronic use beyond 4 weeks.
