Why omeprazole is taken 30 minutes before food?
Omeprazole must be taken at least 30 minutes prior to a meal for the medication to be properly absorbed. Omeprazole absorption is significantly impaired when in the presence of food.

What is the difference between omeprazole and omeprazole 20 mg ec?
Omeprazole refers to the drug substance itself, but can also mean any drug containing omeprazole. Omeprazole 20 mg ec likely refers to a specific finished pharmaceutical product (i.e. a drug product, like a tablet or capsule), that contains 20 mg of omeprazole, and is enterically coated. The enteric coat (ec) is required to prevent the omeprazole from being degraded in the stomach by the gastric acid. This means that the part of the product containing the omeprazole will be undissolved until the product enters the gut, specifically the duodenum. Some omeprazole products are not enteriically coated, and instead contain an alkaline substance to neutraliz the gastric acid, and thus prevent degradation of omeprazole.
What can omeprazole 20mg capsules be prescribed for?

Why does omeprazole reduce iron absorption?
Iron is more readily absorbed in an acidic environment (gastric juices) but since omeprazole can decrease the gastric acid produced, it is good to take vitamin C (ascorbic acid) when taking an iron supplement (both of which should be if advised by your physician) or one can simply take a vitamin C supplement if taking omeprazole when no iron supplement is needed (as would be in the case of iron deficiency anemia which is determined by a blood test).
