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. 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]

Adverse effects

Proton pump inhibitors may be associated with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis.[4] Recent starting of these drugs may also be associated with pneumonia acquired in the community[5] or hospital[6]. 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[7] This is problematic considering how often PPIs are incorrectly prescribed.[8]

Drug interactions

In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration has issued a warning regarding combining PPIs with clopidogrel.[9]

Studies of drug interactions between PPIs and clopidogrel[10][11][12][13]
Trial Patients Intervention Comparison Outcome Results
PPI Control
Ontario nested case-control study[10] 13,636 subjects taking clopidogrel after myocardial infarction 782 subjects readmitted for myocardial infarction 2057 subjects not readmitted Rate of PPI usage other than pantoprazole Odds ratio = 1.40 (95% CI 1.10–1.77)
Cohort study from the VA Cardiac Care Follow-up Clinical Study[11] 8205 subjects with acute coronary syndrome 64% were taking PPIs:
• 0.2% used pantoprazole
Subjects not taking PPIs Major vascular events 29.8% 20.8%
Odds ratio = 1.25 (95% CI: 1.11-1.41)
• "each 10% increase in the proportion of time taking clopidogrel plus PPI during follow-up was associated with a higher risk"
Cohort study taken from TRITON-TIMI 38 randomized controlled trials[12][14][15]
2 of 14 authors disclosed payments from AstraZenca, the maker of omeprazole and esomeprazole
6795 subjects with acute coronary syndrome who were randomized to the clopidogrel arm of the trial 33% (4529) were taking PPIs at randomization:
• 2814 took PPIs for duration of study
• 41% used pantoprazole
• 94% received stents
Subjects not taking PPIs Major vascular events 11.8% 12.2%
• Patients taking any PPI HR = 0.94, (95% CI 0.80–1.11)
• Patients taking any PPI for duration of study HR = 1.05 (95% CI 0.85–1.30)
• Results similar for each individual PPI
Medco cohort study[13] 16,718 subjects who took clopidogrel for 12 months after coronary stent 41% were taking PPIs:
• 24% used pantoprazole
Subjects not taking PPIs Major vascular events 24% to 29% 17.9%
• Pantoprazole HR=1.61 (pantoprazole had most GI bleeding)
• Esooprazole HR=1.57
• Lansoprazole HR=1.39
• Omeprazole HR=1.39
Histamine H2 antagonists HR=1.14 (insignicant)

Proton pump inhibitors (especially inhibitors other than pantoprazole[10]), which are metabolized by the CYP2C19 isoenzyme of cytochrome P-450, may[11] or may not[12] increase adverse cardiac events when given to patients taking clopidogrel for coronary heart disease.
