In medicine, 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."[1] They are also used as part of curative therapy for Helicobacter pylori, in combination with antibiotics.

Metabolism

Proton pump inhibitors are metabolized by the CYP2C19 isoenzyme of cytochrome P-450. This may be less true for pantoprazole and esomeprazole.[2]

Adverse effects

Proton pump inhibitors may be associated with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis.[3] Recent starting of these drugs may also be associated with pneumonia acquired in the community[4] or hospital[5]. These drugs may be associated with Clostridium difficile diarrhea, and fractures.

Starting proton pump inhibitors in healthy volunteers may induce acid-related symptoms PPIs are stopped[6] This is problematic considering how often PPIs are incorrectly prescribed.[7]

Drug interactions

Proton pump inhibitors (especially inhibitors other than pantoprazole[8]), which are metabolized by the CYP2C19 isoenzyme of cytochrome P-450, may[9] or may not[10] increase adverse cardiac events when given to patients taking clopidogrel for coronary heart disease.
