What ids the diffrence between lanzoprazol and omperazol ?

Not much: The data don't show any major clinical differences between them. Lansoprazole has a dissolvable tablet to make it easier to take. But other than that there is no real difference clinically. Most insurances would prefer you use one or the other though. So you may pay more for one than for the other

See below: Two different chemicals that work in a similar fashion as proton pump inhibitors to decrease stomach acidity. One of several "me too" drugs on the market. One or the other work equally well.
