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).
Omeprazole can treat these conditions by decreasing the production of stomach acid. Omeprazole is part of a group of medications called proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). The stomach contains tiny pumps (called proton pumps) that produce acid. Omeprazole works by binding to these proton pumps, stopping the production of acid. Omeprazole is very effective at decreasing acid production.
