Omeprazole offers significant therapeutic gains in the treatment of acid-related diseases. Healing rates are high in duodenal ulcer, gastric ulcer, and erosive reflux oesophagitis; acid production is controlled effectively in Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome and symptom relief is prompt and sustained in all indications. Less clear-cut indications where benefit might be expected but where data are limited include:
- Prevention of stress ulceration
- Prevention of the acid aspiration syndrome
- Treatment of upper gastrointestinal bleeding
