neutralizes gastric acid
increase LES pressure
act as a buffer

135

disintegration, dissolution, ionization of drug changes affecting absorption
separate doses by 2 hrs

slower onset
longer duration

147
Q

PPIs MOA

A

irreversibly inhibit hydrogen potassium ATPase (proton pump) of parietal cell blocking secretion with longer effects than H2RAs

148

PPIs potency

A

clinically equally effective and interchangeable
some individuals respond better to different drugs

149
Q

PPIs drug interactions: pH changes

A

disintegration, dissolution, ionization of drug changes affecting absorption
avoid longer durations
(ketoconazole, itraconazole, iron)

150
