Best Answer

At the current time, by far the most widely prescribed drugs in terms of the number of prescriptions written throughout the world, are the category of medicines known as the Proton-Pump Inhibitors, which include omeprazole (sometimes marketed as Losec), lansoprazole (Zoton), and others ending with -prazole. These are used alone to treat recurrent indigestion, or acid reflux/dyspepsia, as well as in combination with antibiotics to treat peptic ulcer disease.
