Aciphex Action Mechanism Aciphex contains Rabeprazole as its sole chemical compound that actively participates in alleviating the enhanced concentration of acid in the stomach. This stomach medication inhibits the acid production by impeding the action of the enzyme gastric H+-K+ ATPase along with hindering the final acid secretion step of the ga..

Nexium Action Mechanism Nexium contains Esomeprazole as its only active chemical metabolite that carries out its whole action mechanism. By acting as proton pump inhibitor (PPI), this medication impedes with the secretion of gastric acid with the help of selective inhibition of H+/K+-ATPase enzyme. Hence, ameliorating the gastric acid secretion a..

Prevacid Action Mechanism Lansoprazole present in this medication causes annulling of stomach acid by impeding its production. Prevacid acts as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) to cure the esophageal as well as stomach acid inflammations. This medication is also found to exert a potent effect on the enzyme responsible for the production of acid by c..

Prilosec Action Mechanism This Omiprazole containing medication executes its action of alleviating stomach acid by acting as selective and irreversible inhibitor of proton pump that in turn causes hindrance with the hydrogen and potassium ATPase enzyme system. Prilosec thereby causes suppression of gastric acid production of both basal as well ..

Protonix Action Mechanism Protonix is a prantopozole containing medication that acts as an inhibitor of (H+, K+)-ATPase enzyme system that is present on gastric parietal cell surface. Hence, this oral medication effectively suppresses the last step of acid production along with resulting in inhibition of the production of stimulated as well as ba..

Zantac Action Mechanism Zantac contains ranitidine as its major active metabolite that greatly aids in relieving your stomach troubles. It acts as a reversible and competitive antagonist of type-2 histamine receptors, which is also known as an H2 blocker. Hence, this antihistamine medicament causes the prevention of acid production by impeding it..
