Omeprazole is an active pharmaceutical ingredient used to design drugs that lower stomach acid. Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) drug type. PPIs work by blocking the enzyme secreted in the lining of the stomach, which secretes acid. Blocking the enzyme lessens acid production and tends to provide a kind of relief from acidity and heartburn.

It is pale cream-white or white powder. It has limited solubility in water-type solvents but is very soluble in alcohol-type solvents such as methanol or ethanol.
