Yes, both Omeprazole DR (Delayed Release) and EC (Enteric Coated) formulations serve the same purpose: they are both proton pump inhibitors used to reduce stomach acid production. The primary difference lies in their formulation; DR is designed to release the medication at a specific time, while EC has a coating that protects the drug from stomach acid, allowing it to dissolve in the intestines. Both forms effectively treat conditions like GERD and peptic ulcers.

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.
