Research Notes on Proton Pump Inhibitors
Proton pump inhibitors work to reduce acid production in the stomach. This leaves less acid in the stomach so that if your stomach juices back up into your esophagus, it will be less irritating. This allows time for the esophagus to heal.
Fast Facts:
- Proton pump inhibitors help to reduce acid production by blocking an enzyme in the stomach wall.
- Proton pump inhibitors are used to help prevent and treat of acid-related conditions such as ulcers, heartburn, and gastroesophageal reflux disease.
- Proton pump inhibitors bind to the gastric acid pump and block the secretion of acid into the stomach.
- Proton pump inhibitors are effective long term and as needed in some people.
