Proton pump inhibitor
In medicine, proton pump inhibitors (PPI) are medications that "inhibit H(+)-K(+)-exchanging atpase. They are used as anti-ulcer agents and sometimes in place of histamine H2 antagonists for gastroesophageal reflux."[1] They are also used as part of curative therapy for Helicobacter pylori, in combination with antibiotics.
Metabolism
Proton pump inhibitors are metabolized by the CYP2C19 isoenzyme of cytochrome P-450. Lanzoprazole is the strongest inhibitor of CYP2C19,[2] This may be less true for pantoprazole and esomeprazole.[3] Pantoprazole is the strongest inhibitor of the CYP2C9 isoenzyme[2]
Adverse effects
Proton pump inhibitors may be associated with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis.[4] Recent starting of these drugs may also be associated with pneumonia acquired in the community[5] or hospital[6]. These drugs may be associated with Clostridium difficile diarrhea, and fractures.
Starting proton pump inhibitors in healthy volunteers may induce acid-related symptoms PPIs are stopped[7] This is problematic considering how often PPIs are incorrectly prescribed.[8]
Drug interactions
In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration has issued a warning regarding combining PPIs with clopidogrel.[9]
Trial | Patients | Intervention | Comparison | Outcome | Results | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
PPI | Control | |||||
Ontario nested case-control study[10] | 13,636 subjects taking clopidogrel after myocardial infarction | 782 subjects readmitted for myocardial infarction | 2057 subjects not readmitted | Rate of PPI usage other than pantoprazole | Odds ratio = 1.40 (95% CI 1.10–1.77) | |
Cohort study from the VA Cardiac Care Follow-up Clinical Study[11] | 8205 subjects with acute coronary syndrome | 64% were taking PPIs: • 0.2% used pantoprazole |
Subjects not taking PPIs | Major vascular events | 29.8% | 20.8% |
Odds ratio = 1.25 (95% CI: 1.11-1.41) • "each 10% increase in the proportion of time taking clopidogrel plus PPI during follow-up was associated with a higher risk" | ||||||
Cohort study taken from TRITON-TIMI 38 randomized controlled trials[12][14][15] 2 of 14 authors disclosed payments from AstraZenca, the maker of omeprazole and esomeprazole |
6795 subjects with acute coronary syndrome who were randomized to the clopidogrel arm of the trial | 33% (4529) were taking PPIs at randomization: • 2814 took PPIs for duration of study • 41% used pantoprazole • 94% received stents |
Subjects not taking PPIs | Major vascular events | 11.8% | 12.2% |
• Patients taking any PPI HR = 0.94, (95% CI 0.80–1.11) • Patients taking any PPI for duration of study HR = 1.05 (95% CI 0.85–1.30) | ||||||
Medco cohort study[13] | 16,718 subjects who took clopidogrel for 12 months after coronary stent | 41% were taking PPIs: • 24% used pantoprazole |
Subjects not taking PPIs | Major vascular events | 24% to 29% | 17.9% |
• Pantoprazole HR=1.61 (pantoprazole had most GI bleeding) • Esooprazole HR=1.57 • Lansoprazole HR=1.39 • Omeprazole HR=1.39 • Histamine H2 antagonists HR=1.14 (insignicant) |
Proton pump inhibitors (especially inhibitors other than pantoprazole[10]), which are metabolized by the CYP2C19 isoenzyme of cytochrome P-450, may[11] or may not[12] increase adverse cardiac events when given to patients taking clopidogrel for coronary heart disease.
