PPIs are weak bases that become activated by colonic bacteria

Hmmm... This is not quite right now, is it? PPIs are indeed weak bases but how would activation in the colon serve the purpose of reducing gastric acid secretion in the stomach? You may need to revisit the physiology of the GI tract and the pharmacology of PPIs.

Please go back and re-consider.

  • If you use antacids, it is better to combine them with alginates
  • Amoxicillin (penicillin antibiotic), clarithromycin (macrolide antibiotic), metronidazole (nitroimidazole antibiotic)
  • Lansoprazole (PPI), amoxicillin (penicillin antibiotic), and clarithromycin (macrolide antibiotic)
  • PPIs are weak bases converted by CYP450 enzymes to the active form in parietal cells
  • PPIs are weak bases that become activated by colonic bacteria
