Protonpumpen
Protonpumpen, also known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), are a class of medications that reduce stomach acid production. They exert their effect by irreversibly blocking the activity of the hydrogen/potassium ATPase enzyme system, commonly referred to as the proton pump, located in the parietal cells of the gastric lining. This enzyme is responsible for secreting hydrochloric acid into the stomach, which is essential for digestion and protecting against certain pathogens.
Proton pump inhibitors are primarily used to treat conditions related to excess stomach acid, including gastroesophageal
The drugs are typically administered orally, either as capsules or tablets, with varying dosing schedules depending
Proton pump inhibitors are considered highly effective in controlling gastric acid secretion, often providing rapid relief
