Ingredients in omeprazole?

See the DrugPatentWatch profile for omeprazole

Do you mean the active ingredient and the inactive ingredients (excipients) in omeprazole products? If you have a specific brand and dose, share it and I can give the exact list. In the meantime:

- Active ingredient: Omeprazole (the drug itself).

- Inactive ingredients (excipients) vary by brand and dosage form (capsule vs tablet vs chewable). Common types you might see:
- Enteric coating materials to protect omeprazole from stomach acid (e.g., methacrylic acid copolymer, cellulose acetate phthalate) and coatings like talc or titanium dioxide.
- Capsule/tablet shell: gelatin or a vegetarian alternative (e.g., HPMC), possibly colorants.
- Fillers/binders: microcrystalline cellulose, lactose, or mannitol; povidone.
- Disintegrants: crospovidone, croscarmellose sodium.
- Lubricants: magnesium stearate.
- Other additives: silica, flavorings or sweeteners (in chewables or dispersible forms), glycerin or water in the capsule.

Important notes:
- The exact ingredients depend on the manufacturer and the formulation (20 mg capsule, 40 mg tablet, etc.).
- If you have allergies or need to avoid certain substances (e.g., lactose, gelatin), check the specific product label or package insert.

If you tell me the brand (e.g., Prilosec, generic omeprazole) and the dosage, I can pull a more precise list of the inactive ingredients for that product.
