It is a gastric proton pump inhibitor. Omeprazole is a substituted benzimidazole derivative acting on the final step of acid production & therefore controls intragastric acidity irrespective of stimulus. It markedly inhibits basal and stimulated gastric acid secretion. Thus it is antisecretory drug which is very effective for rapidly healing peptic ulcers & erosive oesophagitis & for reducing gastric acid hyper-secretion in patients with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.

Concomitant administration of clarithromycin with cisapride, pimozide, or terfenadine is contraindicated. There have been post-marketing reports of drug interactions when clarithromycin and/or erythromycin are co-administered with cisapride, pimozide, or terfenadine resulting in cardiac arrhythmias (QT prolongation, ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, and torsades de pointes) most likely due to inhibition of hepatic metabolism of these drugs by erythromycin and clarithromycin.
