How Omez Capsule Works
Omez Capsule contains Omeprazole, which works by irreversibly blocking the H+/K+ ATPase enzyme (proton pump) found in the gastric parietal cells of the stomach lining. This mechanism directly reduces the production of gastric acid, regardless of the stimulus. Unlike antacids that neutralize already-produced acid, Omez targets the root cause by stopping acid production at the source, providing deeper and longer-lasting relief.
