Uses of Omeprazole: An Overview. Omeprazole (Prilosec Â®) is a prescription medication used to treat several conditions related to the esophagus, stomach, and intestines. Omeprazole is part of a class of drugs known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs).
Prescription omeprazole is used to treat the symptoms of GERD, allow the esophagus to heal, and prevent further damage to the esophagus. Prescription omeprazole is also used to treat conditions in which the stomach produces too much acid such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
