Prilosec (omeprazole)
Prilosec belongs to a family of medications called proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). Prilosec functions by slowing or preventing the production of acid within the stomach. Prilosec is used for the treatment of conditions where reduction in acid secretion is required for proper healing such as gastric and duodenal ulcers, heartburn, and GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). Prilosec is also used in combination with antibiotics for the treatment and eradication of H. pylori bacteria.
Omeprazole
The active ingredient in Prilosec delayed-release capsules is omeprazole, a substituted benzimidazole. Omeprazole is a white to off-white crystalline powder which melts with decomposition at about 155 degrees C. I has a weak base, freely soluble in ethanol and methanol, and slightly soluble in acetone and isopropanol, and very slightly soluble in water. The stability of omeprazole is a function of pH; it is rapidly degraded in acid media, but has acceptable stability under alkaline conditions.
