Name the drug class: Omeprazole Esomeprazole Lansoprazole Rabeprazole Pantoprazole
Proton Pump Inhibitors
How to PPIs work?
they irreversibly bind the H+/K+ (ATPase) pump of the parietal cell, resulting in decreased acid secretion
Which drug results in the most potent gastric acid reduction?
PPIs
they heal ulcers more quickly than H2s
I usually take PPI 1POQD, but someone with what issues would take it BID?
ulcer
erosive espohagitis
PPIs work poorly in whom?

Who disrupts the mucosal defense layer?
acid pepsin h pylori aspirin NSAIDS corticosteroids
How do antacids work?
they neutralize gastric acid for a brief amount of time.
they enhance delivery of growth factors to injured muscosa AND
promote angiogenesis in injured mucosa.
