#19
Front (Question)

What is the mechanism of action of Omeprazole (Losec)?

Back (Answer)

Irreversibly inactivates the hydrogen/potassium ATPase enzyme system (proton pump), suppressing both stimulated and basal acid secretion When PPIs are stopped, acid secretion is restored by synthesis of new hydrogen/potassium ATPase

#20
Front (Question)

What is the mechanism of action of Esomeprazole (Nexium)?

Back (Answer)

Irreversibly inactivates the hydrogen/potassium ATPase enzyme system (proton pump), suppressing both stimulated and basal acid secretion When PPIs are stopped, acid secretion is restored by synthesis of new hydrogen/potassium ATPase

#21
Front (Question)

What is the mechanism of action of Pantoprazole (Somac)?

Back (Answer)

Irreversibly inactivates the hydrogen/potassium ATPase enzyme system (proton pump), suppressing both stimulated and basal acid secretion When PPIs are stopped, acid secretion is restored by synthesis of new hydrogen/potassium ATPase

#22

#23
Front (Question)

What is the mechanism of action of Ranitidine (Zantac)?

Back (Answer)

Competitively blocks H2 receptors on parietal cells, reducing gastric acid secretion

#24
Front (Question)

What is the mechanism of action of Magnesium hydroxide (Mylanta/Milk of magnesia)?

Back (Answer)

Neutralises or reduces gastric acidity, resulting in an increase in the pH of the stomach and duodenal bulb and inhibition of the proteolytic activity of pepsin
