Omeprazole does not contain iron or calcium as its active ingredient is omeprazole magnesium. However, some formulations of omeprazole may contain inactive ingredients that include calcium or iron as fillers or coatings. It is important to check the specific formulation of omeprazole you are taking if you have concerns about these ingredients.

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.

Omeprazole must be taken at least 30 minutes prior to a meal for the medication to be properly absorbed. Omeprazole absorption is significantly impaired when in the presence of food. Omeprazole OTC (over-the-counter) does not work instantly and may take up to 4 days (4 doses) for the medication to reach adequate levels in the blood and be fully effective at significantly reducing stomach acid.

I am not a doctor, but amlodipine is a a calcium channel blocker. It blocks calcium from flowing into muscles in order for blood vessels to dilate. Omeprazole blocks stomach acid, thereby blocking calcium from being absorbed into the body. (Osteoporosis is a major side effect of taking omeprazole.) So why would one take amlodipine if the calcium is blocked from the body with omeprazole in the first place?
