Prosec: Purple opaque/natural transparent empty hard gelatin size-'2' capsules with 'ACME' and 'PPI-20' printed alternatively on both cap and body in white ink filled with white or almost white spherical pellets.
Each capsule contains Omeprazole BP 20 mg as enteric coated pellets.
Omeprazole, a racemic mixture of two enantiomers reduces gastric acid secretion through a highly targeted mechanism of action. It is a specific inhibitor of the acid pump in the parietal cell. It is rapidly acting and provides control through reversible inhibition of gastric acid secretion with once daily dosing. Omeprazole is a weak base and is concentrated and converted to the active form in the highly acidic environment of the intracellular canaliculi within the parietal cell, where it inhibits the enzyme H+/K+- ATPase - the acid pump. This effect on the final step of the gastric acid formation process is dose-dependent and provides for highly effective inhibition of both basal acid secretion and stimulated acid secretion, irrespective of stimulus.
Prosec IV: Each vial contains sterile powder of Omeprazole (as sodium) BP equivalent to 40 mg Omeprazole.
Each ampoule contains 10 mL of Sterile Water for Injection BP for reconstitution.
