Drugs that suppress acid production in the stomach.
A class of powerful drugs which markedly reduce the ability of the stomach to produce acid. For patients with reflux (regurgitation, heartburn), these drugs can be extremely effective in reducing unpleasant symptoms, but these drugs do not reduce the possibility of developing cancer.
Also called acid pump inhibitors, PPIs shut down active acid pumps to target stomach acid. Prilosec OTC is the only PPI available over-the-counter for frequent heartburn.
A group of medications which inhibit the stomach acid secretion. These medications are used to heal ulcers and gastroesophageal reflux disease. Omeprazole and lansoprazole all included within this group of medications. These are very powerful group of acid suppression medications.
A group of drugs used to treat heartburn and peptic ulcer disease. These include omprezole (Prilosec), esomeprazole (Nexium) and pansoprazole (Prevacid).
medicines that affect how acid is produced by the stomach's "proton pump" system, thereby decreasing stomach acid.
medications that stop the stomach's acid pump.
Also known as acid pump inhibitor, these medications work by preventing acid pumps in the stomach from producing too much acid. These drugs (Prilosec, Prevacid, Aciphex, Nexium, Protonix) are the strongest acid inhibitors available today.
Drugs used to treat ulcers and related disorders in which there is excess stomach acid.
the most powerful type of acid suppressors. These medications work by preventing acid pumps in the stomach from producing too much acid. Also known as acid pump inhibitors.
Medicines that are very affective in stoping the stomach's acid pump. Examples are omeprazole (Prilosec), lansoprazole (Prevacid), and rabeprazole (Aciphex). These drugs may be used for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and peptic ulcer disease.
A group of medications (including pantoprazole, omeprazole and lansoprazole) that work by binding the H+/K+ ATPase, (an enzyme present in the stomach) PPIs are the most effective pharmacological treatment for inhibiting acid production.
Medicines that stop the stomach's acid pump.
These medications would be classified as the most powerful antacid medications that completely prevent the production of acid by the stomach. The two available medications are Prevacid and Prilosec.
