AI summarySynthesized from FDA + DailyMed + ClinicalTrials.gov data
ZEGERID is an oral chewable tablet combining omeprazole (a proton pump inhibitor), magnesium hydroxide (an antacid), and sodium bicarbonate (a buffer) for rapid and sustained gastric acid suppression. It works by blocking the H+/K+ ATPase enzyme system at the gastric parietal cell, inhibiting the final step of acid production. The combination formulation enables faster onset of action compared to omeprazole alone.
