BACKGROUND The selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) citalopram, escitalopram, and sertraline are all metabolized by the cytochrome P-450 isoenzyme CYP2C19, which is inhibited by the proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) omeprazole, esomeprazole, lansoprazole, and pantoprazole. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of these PPIs on the serum concentrations of citalopram, esc...

BACKGROUND Gastric ulcers are a frequent problem in the United States. Proton pump inhibitors have been shown to increase healing rates and improve clinical symptoms. The objective of this study is to compare gastric ulcer healing rates for patients treated with a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) (omeprazole, rabeprazole, pantoprazole, or lansoprazole), an histamine 2- receptor antagonist (ranitidin...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are widely used to prevent nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)-induced peptic ulcers. NSAIDs produce small intestinal injury and some PPIs have been reported to protect against NSAID-induced small bowel injury in rats. The aim of this study was to compare PPIs, revaprazan, and phosphatidylcholine-associated indomethacin (Indo-PC) for protect...

The incidence of bleeding is increased in high risk patients with critical conditions Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Appropriate prophylaxis medicine necessary to reduce the stress ulcer during hospitalization ICU which further can minimize cost patient care ICU. Currently, lansoprazole and pantoprazole are used as a ulcers prophylaxis. Nevertheless, there has not been sufficient evidence proving t...

Methods Our patient is a 64 year-old female, who had glioma and had been on post-op anticonvulsants therapy. On the 3rd day after she had an operation, lansoprazole was added to the therapy. After the first lansoprazole dose erythematous dusky red macules were occured in extremities and trunk and on the following day confluent purpuric lesions tended to run together in 95% of the whole body inc...

Omeprazole and lansoprazole are proton pump inhibitors that have shown activity against Helicobacter pylori and other Helicobacter species when tested by agar dilution. Lansoprazole was more active against H. pylori than was omeprazole, and the activity was independent of urease production. Disk susceptibility tests and agar dilution MIC determinations were performed to investigate the effects ...

Dexlansoprazole modified-release (MR) is the R-enantiomer of lansoprazole and is currently the only proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) with a novel dual delayed release (DDR) formulation. Overall, dexlansoprazole MR demonstrates a similar safety and side-effect profile as lansoprazole. Dexlansoprazole MR has been shown to be highly efficacious in healing erosive esophagitis, maintaining healed esophag...

Background: Latex allergy is a major occupational disease with prevalence nearly 5-17% among the health care workers. Objective: To determine the prevalence of latex glove allergy and its contributing factors among operation room staff. Patients and Methods: In this study, 512 operation room staff were evaluated for latex allergy, using a complete questionnaire. Those suspected to have latex al...
