1 Action drug

Omega D is a drug that belongs to the category of blockers. Its action is directed to the proton pump. Due to this, the drug is often called an antiulcer, but it also treats other diseases. Pharmacological action of the drug is based on the action of the active substance - omeprazole. It is able to inactivate a specific enzyme that acts on the stomach( the cells that form its walls).

The activity of this enzyme is suppressed by blocking certain processes associated with the biosynthesis of hydrochloric acid. Therefore, the level of acidity of the gastric juice becomes higher, and this allows you to stop an attack that occurs with diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.

This element is not characterized by a high level of pharmacological activity. The therapeutic effect is achieved due to metabolites. In this measure, the sour content, which is a component of gastric juice, directly takes part.

Taking the drug in the prescribed volume in accordance with the norms makes it possible to obtain a good effect, which is manifested by the prevention of the formation of hydrochloric acid. The favorable result persists in the period of rest( it is a question of basal secretion) and in the process of stimulation.

The drug begins to act on the lesion in 60 minutes after taking the tablets. The maximum manifestation of the therapeutic effect usually comes in 120 minutes. Within 24 hours, 1 tablet of Omega is able to maintain a suppression of more than 50% of the secretion inherent in hydrochloric acid.

After 4 days of regular intake of the drug at a fixed dose, there is a persistent suppression of secretion of gastric juice. The effect is usually maintained for 5 days after completion of the drug. However, this period may fluctuate. Elimination( half-elimination) of the drug from the body occurs after 1.5 hours. To active component completely left the body, it takes about 5 days.
