Omni 5mg Tab (Omeprazole) is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). It works by blocking the production of stomach acid by reducing the activity of a specific enzyme in the stomach cells. This leads to a decrease in the amount of acid produced, helping to relieve symptoms of heartburn and other acid-related conditions.

Store omeprazole at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep it out of reach of children and pets.
