Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

* The Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor used for gastritis, burning, upset stomach issues.
* The Metoclopramide works as an anti emetic to control vomiting, nausea.
* Neither of two are for pain control.
So if the details of symptoms are provided a better guidance can be given regarding the doubt.

Thanks,
