In [[medicine]], '''proton pump inhibitors''' ('''PPI''') are [[medication]]s that "inhibit H(+)-K(+)-exchanging atpase. They are used as [[anti-ulcer agent]]s and sometimes in place of [[histamine H2 antagonist]]s for [[gastroesophageal reflux]]."<ref>{{MeSH}}</ref>

In [[medicine]], specifically [[gastroenterology]], '''proton pump inhibitors''' ('''PPI''') are [[medication]]s that "inhibit H(+)-K(+)-exchanging atpase. They are used as [[anti-ulcer agent]]s and sometimes in place of [[histamine H2 antagonist]]s for [[gastroesophageal reflux disease]]."<ref>{{MeSH}}</ref> They are also used to eradicate ''[[Helicobacter pylori]]'', in combination with [[antibiotic]]s.
 
Examples:
* Esomeprazole. Available as [[generic]].
* Lansoprazole. Available as [[generic]].
* Omeprazole. Available as non-prescription in the [[United States of America]].
* Pantoprazole. Available as [[generic]].
* Rabeprazole
 
==Metabolism==
Proton pump inhibitors are metabolized by the CYP2C19 isoenzyme of [[cytochrome P-450]].

In medicine, specifically gastroenterology, proton pump inhibitors (PPI) are medications that "inhibit H(+)-K(+)-exchanging atpase. They are used as anti-ulcer agents and sometimes in place of histamine H2 antagonists for gastroesophageal reflux disease."[1] They are also used to eradicate Helicobacter pylori, in combination with antibiotics.

Examples:

Metabolism

Proton pump inhibitors are metabolized by the CYP2C19 isoenzyme of cytochrome P-450. Lanzoprazole is the strongest inhibitor of CYP2C19,[2] This may be less true for pantoprazole and esomeprazole.[3] Pantoprazole is the strongest inhibitor of the CYP2C9 isoenzyme[2]

Effectiveness

Proton pump inhibitors may improve:

PPIs may reduce the risk of gastrointestinal hemorrhage among patients enduring anticoagulation.[9]

Adverse effects

Proton pump inhibitors may be associated with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis.[10] Recent starting of these drugs may also be associated with pneumonia acquired in the community[11]or hospital[12]. These drugs may be associated with Clostridium difficile diarrhea[13], and fractures other than hip fractures[14].

Starting proton pump inhibitors in healthy volunteers may induce acid-related symptoms when PPIs are stopped[15] This is problematic considering how often PPIs are incorrectly prescribed.[16]

Proton pump inhibitors may induce acid-related symptoms in healthy volunteers after withdrawal, presumably due to rebound acid hypersecretion.[15]

Drug interactions

In the United States of America, the Food and Drug Administration has issued warnings regarding combining PPIs with clopidogrel.[17][18] Proton pump inhibitors (especially inhibitors other than pantoprazole[19]), which are metabolized by the CYP2C19 isoenzyme of cytochrome P-450, may or may not increase adverse cardiac events when given to patients taking clopidogrel for coronary heart disease (see evidence table). A consensus statement address this drug interaction.[20]

Studies of drug interactions between PPIs and clopidogrel[21][22][23][19][24][25][26][27][28]
