Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor indicated for short-term treatment of peptic ulcer disease in adults. It works by irreversibly binding to and inhibiting enzymes on the surface of gastric parietal cells, which stops hydrogen ion transport into the gastric lumen. The typical dose is 40 mg IV initially, then once daily orally 30 minutes before breakfast. Common adverse effects include headache, diarrhea, nausea and abdominal pain. Nursing responsibilities include administering omeprazole before meals, advising patients about drug and food interactions, and instructing them to report bothersome side effects.
