Abstract excerpt
Proton pump inhibitors are highly effective in the management of acid-peptic diseases. These drugs potently inhibit acid secretion from gastric parietal cells by irreversibly inhibiting activity of the H(+), K(+) ATPase (proton pump). Early studies of the pharmacokinetics of proton pump inhibitors demonstrated considerable variation in drug clearance rates among patients and healthy volunteers. This variation was...
