Pharmacotherapeutic group: Gastric gland secretion reducing agent – proton pump inhibitor
ATX code: A02BC01
Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
Omeprazole is a racemic mixture of two enantiomers and reduces hydrochloric acid secretion by specifically inhibiting the proton pump of gastric parietal cells. When administered once, it is fast acting and has a reversible inhibition of hydrochloric acid secretion.
Mechanism of action
Omeprazole is a weak base, converts to its active form in the acidic environment of the tubules of the cells of the parietal layer of the gastric mucosa, where it activates and inhibits the H+/K+-ATPase of the proton pump. It has a dose-dependent effect on the last stage of hydrochloric acid synthesis, it inhibits both basal and stimulated secretion, regardless of the stimulating factor.
Influence on gastric hydrochloric acid secretion
After oral administration of omeprazole once daily, there is a rapid and effective decrease in daytime and nighttime hydrochloric acid secretion, which reaches a maximum within 4 days of treatment.
In patients with duodenal ulcer disease, use of 20 mg of omeprazole causes a sustained reduction of 24-hour gastric acidity by at least 80%. At the same time, a reduction of the average maximum concentration of hydrochloric acid after pentagastrin stimulation by 70% is achieved within 24 hours. Daily oral administration of 20 mg of omeprazole in patients with duodenal ulcer disease maintains acidity at pH ≥3 for an average of 17 hours.
The degree of inhibition of hydrochloric acid secretion is proportional to the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of omeprazole and is not proportional to the actual blood concentration of the drug at a given time. No tachyphylaxis was observed during treatment with omeprazole.
Omeprazole in vitro has a bactericidal effect on Helicobacter pylori. Eradication of Helicobacter pylori when using omeprazole in combination with antibacterials is accompanied by rapid elimination of symptoms, a high degree of healing of gastrointestinal mucosal defects and long-term remission of peptic ulcer disease, which reduces the chance of complications such as bleeding and is as effective as ongoing supportive therapy.
Pharmacokinetics
Assimilation. Omeprazole is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, the maximum concentration in plasma is reached after 1-2 hours. It is absorbed in the small intestine, usually within 3-6 hours. Bioavailability after a single oral administration is about 40%, after continuous administration once a day bioavailability increases to 60%. Simultaneous intake of food does not affect the bioavailability of omeprazole.
Distribution. The binding of omeprazole to plasma proteins is about 95%, the volume of distribution is 0.3 l/kg.
Metabolism. Omeprazole is completely metabolized in the liver. The main isoenzymes involved in the process of metabolism are CYP2C19 and CYP3A4. Hydroxyomeprazole is the main metabolite produced by the CYP2C19 isoenzyme. The metabolites sulfone and sulfide have no effect on hydrochloric acid secretion.
Excretion. The elimination half-life is about 40 minutes (30-90 minutes). About 80% is excreted as metabolites by the kidneys, the rest is excreted through the intestine.
Special groups of patients. In elderly patients (75-79 years) a slight decrease in metabolism of omeprazole has been noted.
In patients with impaired renal function, no dose adjustment is required. Metabolism of omeprazole in patients with impaired liver function is slower, which leads to increased bioavailability.
In children aged 1 year, plasma concentrations of omeprazole were similar to those of adults.

Interaction
Active substances with pH-dependent absorption
The decrease in gastric acidity with omeprazole may increase or decrease absorption of pharmacologically active substances.
Nelfinavir, atazanavir
Concomitant use with omeprazole may significantly decrease plasma concentrations of atazanavir and nelfinavir.
The concomitant use of omeprazole and nelfinavir is contraindicated. Concomitant use of omeprazole (40 mg daily) reduces exposure to nelfinavir by approximately 40% and the average exposure to the pharmacologically active metabolite M8 is reduced by 75-90%. CYP1C19 inhibition mechanism may be involved in the interaction. Concomitant use of omeprazole with atazanavir is not recommended. Concomitant use of omeprazole (40 mg daily) and atazanavir 300 mg/ritonavir 100 mg in healthy volunteers resulted in a 75% reduction in atazanavir exposure. Increasing the atazanavir dose to 400 mg did not compensate for the effect of omeprazole on atazanavir exposure. Using 20 mg of omeprazole daily with 400 mg of atazanavir and 100 mg of ritonavir in healthy volunteers resulted in approximately 30% reduction in atazanavir exposure and was comparable to exposure with a single dose of 300 mg of atazanavir and 100 mg of ritonavir.
Digoxin
The concomitant treatment of omeprazole (20 mg daily) and digoxin in healthy volunteers increased the bioavailability of digoxin by 10%. Although glycoside intoxication with omeprazole is not a frequent event, increased monitoring is necessary, especially when treating elderly patients.
Clopidogrel
In a crossover clinical trial, the duration of clopidogrel at a loading dose of 300 mg (75 mg daily) and the combination of clopidogrel with omeprazole at a dose of 80 mg was 5 days. Exposure to the active metabolite clopidogrel was reduced by 46% (on day 1) and 42% (on day 5) when clopidogrel and omeprazole were taken together. The mean time to inhibit platelet aggregation was reduced by 47% (24 hours) and 30% (day 5) when clopidogrel and omeprazole were taken together. In another study, it was shown that taking clopidogrel and omeprazole at different times did not prevent their interaction, which is probably due to the inhibitory effect of omeprazole on CYP2C19. There are conflicting data from observational and clinical studies on the clinical impact of these FC/FD interactions in terms of the development of severe cardiovascular events.
Other drugs
The absorption of posaconazole, erlotinib, cetaconazole and itraconazole is significantly reduced and their clinical effectiveness is correspondingly impaired. Co-administration of omeprazole with posaconazole or erlotinib should be avoided.
Drugs metabolized by the isoenzyme CYP.2C19
Omeprazole moderately inhibits CYP2C19, the main enzyme of metabolism of omeprazole. Thus, the metabolism of other drugs that are also metabolized by CYP2C19 may be reduced and their systemic effects may be increased. Examples of such drugs are R-warfarin and other vitamin K antagonists, cilostazol, diazepam and phenytoin.
Cilostazol
In a cross-sectional clinical trial in healthy volunteers, taking omeprazole at a dose of 40 mg increased Cmax and AUC of cilostazol by 18% and 26%, respectively, and one of the active metabolites of cilostazol by 29% and 69%, respectively.
Phenytoin
Phenytoin plasma concentration monitoring is recommended for the first two weeks after initiation of omeprazole therapy and if the phenytoin dose is adjusted; monitoring and subsequent adjustment of the phenytoin dose should be performed until completion of omeprazole treatment.
Unknown mechanism of interaction
Saquinavir
. Co-administration of omeprazole and saquinavir/ritonavir is well tolerated in HIV-infected patients and also results in a decrease in plasma concentration of saquinavir to approximately 70%.
Tacrolimus
The co-administration with omeprazole decreases the serum concentration of tacrolimus. Increased monitoring of tacrolimus concentrations and renal function (creatinine clearance) should be performed with dose adjustments of tacrolimus if necessary.
Influence of other drugs on the pharmacokinetics of omeprazole
Inhibitors of CYP2C19 and/or CYP3A4 isoenzyme
. Given the metabolism of omeprazole involving the CYP2C19 and CYP3A4 isoenzymes, drugs that can inhibit these enzymes (such as clarithromycin and voriconazole) can decrease the serum concentration of omeprazole by increasing its metabolic rate.
No effect on metabolism
. Omeprazole has no effect on the metabolism of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4 isoenzyme, such as cyclosporine, lidocaine, quinidine, estradiol, erythromycin and budesonide.
Omeprazole has not been found to interact with the following drugs: antacids, caffeine, theophylline, S-warfarin, piroxicam, diclofenac, naproxen, metoprolol, propranolol and ethanol.
Special Instructions
Before starting therapy, the presence of a malignant process in the upper gastrointestinal tract should be excluded, since administration of Omeprazole-Teva may mask the symptoms and delay the correct diagnosis. Decreased gastric acidity, including with proton pump blockers, increases the number of bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract, which increases the risk of gastrointestinal infections.
The decrease in hydrochloric acid secretion increases chromogranin A (CgA) concentrations. Increased concentration of CgA may affect the results of examinations to detect neuroendocrine tumors. To prevent this effect, omeprazole should be temporarily discontinued 5 days prior to the CgA study.
In patients with severe hepatic impairment, liver enzymes should be monitored regularly during therapy with Omeprazole-Teva.
The drug Omeprazole-Teva contains sucrose and therefore is contraindicated in patients with congenital carbohydrate metabolism disorders (fructose intolerance, sucrose/isomaltase deficiency, glucose-galactose malabsorption).
In the therapy of erosive ulcerative lesions associated with taking NSAIDs, careful consideration should be given to limiting or discontinuing NSAIDs to increase the effectiveness of antiulcer therapy.
The drug contains sodium, which should be considered in patients on a controlled sodium diet.
The risk-benefit ratio of long-term (>1 year) maintenance therapy with Omeprazole-Teva should be regularly evaluated. There are data on increased risk of vertebral fractures, carpal bones, femoral head mainly in elderly patients, as well as in the presence of predisposing factors. Patients at risk for osteoporosis should have adequate vitamin D and calcium intake.
There have been reports of severe hypomagnesemia in patients receiving therapy with proton pump inhibitors, including omeprazole, for more than 1 year.
Patients receiving therapy with omeprazole for a long time, especially in combination with digoxin or other drugs that reduce plasma magnesium (diuretics), require regular monitoring of magnesium.
Omeprazole, like all acid-lowering drugs, may decrease absorption of vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin). This should be kept in mind in patients with reduced vitamin B12 stores in the body or with risk factors for impaired absorption of vitamin B12 during long-term therapy.
The formation of glandular cysts in the stomach has been observed more frequently in patients who have taken drugs that decrease gastric gland secretion orally for a long period of time. These phenomena are due to physiologic changes resulting from inhibition of hydrochloric acid secretion, and are reversed with continuation of therapy.
The decrease in secretion of hydrochloric acid in the stomach leads to increased growth of normal intestinal microflora, which in turn may lead to a slightly increased risk of intestinal infections caused by bacteria of the genus Salmonella spp. and Campylobacter spp, and probably Clostridium difficile.
Influence on the ability to drive vehicles, mechanisms
. Because of the possibility of side effects of the central nervous system and eyesight, during treatment with omeprazole, caution should be exercised while driving motor transport and engaging in potentially dangerous activities requiring increased concentration and speed of psychomotor reactions.
