Model: Losec Mups Omeprazole 10mg 28 Tabl
Losec capsules and Losec MUPS tablets (MUPS = Multiple Unit Pellet System) contain the active ingredient omeprazole, which is a type of medicine called a proton pump inhibitor. (NB. Omeprazole is also available without a brand name, ie as the generic medicine. ) Omeprazole acts in the stomach to decrease the production of stomach acid.

Proton pumps are found on cells that line the stomach and are used by these cells to produce stomach acid. Omeprazole works by inhibiting the action of the proton pumps, and this reduces the production of stomach acid.

Stomach acid is produced in the stomach as a normal part of the digestive process. Normally the linings of the stomach and duodenum (an area of the intestine directly after the stomach) are protected by a layer that resists acid attack. However, if this layer is damaged, or large amounts of stomach acid are formed, an ulcer can develop on the lining of the stomach or duodenum. This is called a peptic ulcer.
