Omeprazole belongs to a class of drugs known as the proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs). These are used to prevent problems that occur due to the acid in the stomach. Around 40-60% of people with Asthma also have a condition known as gastro-oesophagael reflux where acid from your stomach flows back up into your oesophagus. this can trigger asthma symptoms. the rationale behind the use of a PPI in asthma is that this acid reflux will be prevented to stop an asthma attack happening.
Studies have shown that 40mg of omeprazole may increase the capacity of the lung to work, but does not improve asthma symptoms or reduce the need for other asthma medication.
