Proton pump inhibitor
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:
- Esomeprazole. Available as generic.
- Lansoprazole. Available as generic.
- Omeprazole. Available as non-prescription in the United States.
- Pantoprazole. Available as generic.
- Rabeprazole
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:
- Non-ulcer dyspepsia[4]
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease[5] Medications may be taken as needed.[6] Two weeks of therapy may be adequate.[7]
- Reflux esophagitis[8]
PPIs may reduce the risk of gastrointestinal hemorrhage among patients undering 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, 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[20] or may not[21] increase adverse cardiac events when given to patients taking clopidogrel for coronary heart disease.
