Omeprazole and other PPIs are more effective than H2 blockers at suppressing nocturnal acid production, offering superior control of nighttime GERD symptoms.
H2 blockers provide quicker relief of nocturnal GERD symptoms but are less effective long-term compared to omeprazole, which provides sustained acid suppression.
