What Experts Say

Omeprazole was the first widely used proton pump inhibitor. It works by binding to the acid producing pump on stomach lining cells, permanently disabling that pump until the cell manufactures a completely new one, which gives it a notably longer lasting effect than older, short acting acid reducing medicines used in the past.

Because omeprazole is broken down through liver enzymes that vary between individuals, pharmacology reviews note that response can differ slightly from person to person, though the overall acid suppressing effect remains dependable and reliable across most patients at the standard once daily dose level.

Experts recommend taking omeprazole before breakfast because acid pumps are most active after a period of overnight fasting. This timing allows the medicine to block the largest possible number of stomach acid pumps as they become newly active for the day ahead of eating.
