Omeprazole is a commonly prescribed proton pump inhibitor (PPI) to reduce acidity. The drug is approved by the regulatory agencies for the treatment of heartburn and other symptoms associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Omeprazole is also used to promote healing of erosive esophagitis (esophageal damage caused by stomach acid).

Omeprazole is used in combination with antibiotics such as amoxicillin and clarithromycin for treating ulcers caused by the H. pylori bacteria.

The global omeprazole market size was valued at US$ 2,668.4 million in 2017, and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 5.2% over the forecast period (2018 – 2026).
