Abstract excerpt
An in vitro study has recently suggested that a proton pump inhibitor, omeprazole, is a modest substrate of P-glycoprotein. Several studies have shown P-glycoprotein is involved in the absorption and excretion of fexofenadine. Therefore, we examined the effect of fexofenadine on the pharmacokinetics of omeprazole. Eight healthy volunteers participated in this study. They received a single oral dose of 40 mg...
