What it is and what it is used for

for The name of your medicine is omeprazole 2mg/ml, powder for oral suspension (called omeprazole oral suspension in this leaflet). Omeprazole oral suspension contains the active substance omeprazole. It belongs to a group of medicines called 'proton pump inhibitors'.They work by reducing the amount of acid that your stomach produces. Omeprazole is commonly used to treat the following conditions: In adults: ■ 'Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease' (GORD).This is where acid from the stomach escapes into the gullet (the tube which connects your throat to your stomach) causing pain, inflammation and heartburn. ■ Ulcers in the upper part of the intestine (duodenal ulcer) In children: Children over 1 month of age: ■ 'Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease' (GORD).This is where acid from the stomach escapes into the gullet (the tube which connects your throat to your stomach) causing pain, inflammation and heartburn. In children, the symptoms of the condition can include the return of stomach contents into the mouth (regurgitation), being sick (vomiting) and poor weight gain. Your doctor will tell you why you have been given this medicine.
