Pepcid is an antacid. Though they may all be used in the management of GERD
and PUD, only Panto*prazole* is a PPI.
How do PPIs work? Right Ans - They block the proton pump in our
stomach and decrease the concentration of HCl; Irreversible inhibit the H+/K+
ATPase in stomach parietal cells.
H pylori is associated 70-90% of Peptic Ulcer cases. How does H. pylori cause
ulcers? Right Ans - The bacteria breaks down the gastroduodenal mucosal
barrier and stimulates gastric acid secretion burrow through barrier, release
ammonium and liquefy the barrier which stimulates HCl secretion
