The inhibitory action of omeprazole was found to depend on acid induced transformation of omeprazole into an active inhibitor of the gastric H+K+ATPase, as no inhibition was obtained when omeprazole was incubated under neutral conditions with either the isolated gastric mucosal or the H+K+ATPase preparations.
Omeprazole is completely metabolized in the liver. The two major plasma metabolites are the sulphone and hydroxyomeprazole, neither of which contributes to the antisecretory activity. About 80% of a given dose is excreted in the urine, and the remainder via the bile.
Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
