Medicine Description opranate 40/1100mg
opranate 40/1100mg capsules is a medication that combines omeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor, with sodium bicarbonate, which acts as an antacid. Omeprazole works by irreversibly inhibiting the hydrogen-potassium ATPase enzyme system in the gastric parietal cells, leading to a significant reduction in gastric acid secretion. This action decreases acidity in the stomach and esophagus, alleviating symptoms associated with acid-related disorders. The addition of sodium bicarbonate helps to neutralize stomach acid, enhancing the effectiveness of omeprazole and providing rapid relief from heartburn and discomfort. The formulation is designed to provide sustained acid control, thereby promoting healing of the esophageal and gastric mucosa.
