Abstract

Omeprazole is a potent, highly specific, and clinically efficacious anti-secretory agent. Current clinical data suggest that omeprazole could be a useful drug in the short-term treatment of patients with severe erosive oesophagitis resistant to standard H2-receptor antagonist therapy. The magnitude of omeprazole's eventual role in the treatment of acid secretory-related disorders will depend on the results of its expanded postmarketing clinical experience and upon resolution of concerns regarding potential adverse effects associated with long-term administration.
