Objective: To compare the effect of esomeprazole 40 mg with lansoprazole 30 mg, omeprazole 20 mg, pantoprazole 40 mg and rabeprazole 20 mg on intragastric pH during single and repeated dosing in four separate studies in patients with symptoms of gastro-oesophageal reflux disorder (GERD).
Methods: In four randomised crossover studies, patients with symptoms of GERD received once-daily treatment with esomeprazole 40 mg or lansoprazole 30 mg (study A), omeprazole 20 mg (study B), pantoprazole 40 mg (study C) and rabeprazole 20 mg (study D) for 5 days. Continuous 24-h intragastric pH recording was performed on days 1 (except study B) and 5. Percentage of time over 24 h with intragastric pH greater than 4, 24-h median pH and the proportion of patients with pH greater than 4 for greater than or equal to 12 h and 16 h during the 24-h recording periods were investigated.
Results: In all four studies, esomeprazole 40 mg OD maintained intragastric pH greater than 4 for a significantly higher mean percentage of the 24-h period compared with all other proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) on days 1 (esomeprazole 40.6% versus lansoprazole 33.4%, P=0.0182; esomeprazole 50.3% versus pantoprazole 29.1%, P<0.001; esomeprazole 41.0% versus rabeprazole 29.4%, P=0.002) and 5 (esomeprazole 57.7% versus lansoprazole 44.5%, P<0.0001; esomeprazole 69.8% versus omeprazole 43.7%, P<0.0001; esomeprazole 67.0% versus pantoprazole 44.8%, P<0.001; esomeprazole 59.4% versus rabeprazole 44.5%, P<0.0001). Higher 24-h median pH and a higher proportion of patients with intragastric pH greater than 4 for greater than or equal to 12 h and 16 h were reported with esomeprazole 40 mg OD than with all the other PPIs in each study.
Conclusion: Esomeprazole 40 mg provides greater acid control in more patients and maintains intragastric pH greater than 4 for a longer period than lansoprazole 30 mg, omeprazole 20 mg, pantoprazole 40 mg and rabeprazole 20 mg in patients with symptoms of GERD.

Background: Clopidogrel, an antiplatelet drug commonly used in cardiovascular disease, is metabolized by the liver mainly through CYP2C19. Concomitant use of Proton pump inhibitors along with clopidogrel may affect the potency of clopidogrel by CYP2C19 inhibition. However, a novel PPI, ilaprazole is known to differ in its pharmacokinetic features, given the potential differences between ilaprazole's interactions and their metabolism with clopidogrel.

Background: Proton-pump-inhibitors (PPIs) are overprescribed, posing challenges to patients and healthcare systems. In Portugal, the public National Health Service (NHS) provides universal coverage and reimburses medication regardless of prescription origin, i.e.

Background: Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are effective treatments for acid-related disorders but may pose tumor risks with long-term use. Current research on PPI-associated tumor adverse events (TAEs) is limited and inconclusive. This study aims to comprehensively analyze the relationship between PPIs and TAEs.

Background: Patients with erosive oesophagitis, and those with persistent symptomatic non-erosive gastro-oesophageal reflux disease, require long-term maintenance treatment with acid-suppressing agents.
Aim: To evaluate the safety of vonoprazan, a potassium-competitive acid blocker, in an integrated analysis of data from clinical trials in adults.
Methods: We included 14 clinical trials of vonoprazan conducted in multiple countries.
