Omeprazole: Pharmacology, Pharmacokinetics and Interactions

Abstract: Omeprazole is a prodrug which is converted to its active form only at the site of action, namely the parietal cell. There it binds irreversibly with H+-K+-ATPase (the gastric proton pump), which causes an effective and long-lasting inhibition of gastric acid secretion. The pharmacokinetic profile of omeprazole is rather complicated, showing concentration-dependent elimination kinetics and an oral bioavailability which increases with the dose and during repeated administration. For the cho… Show more

“…Minor elevations of the AUCs by 10% of digoxin and by 21% of nifedipine after pretreatment with omeprazole were ascribed to decreased gastric acidity and regarded as having no clinical significance (11,34). Other studies demonstrated 26 to 54% reductions of the clearance of diazepam and a 19% rise of the AUC of phenytoin after prior administration of omeprazole, which is probably due to a competition for binding sites of the cytochrome P-450 subfamily IIC (2,3,17,36).…”

“…However, interactions with diazepam, phenytoin, warfarin, digoxin, or methotrexate are reported as not clinically significant. [31][32][33][34][35][36] There is no effect of omeprazole on metabolism of several other drugs tested like theophylline, 37,38 propranolol 39 or cyclosporine.…”

“…Under physiological acidic conditions, aspirin is absorbed in its lipid state by passive diffusion across the gastric mucosal membrane according to the pH partition hypothesis 6. PPIs exert their antacid effect by inhibiting the H + /K + -exchanging ATPase of the gastric parietal cells, thus raising intragastric pH 7. In fact, the pH potentially rises above the p K a (3.5) of acetylsalicylic acid, causing a pronounced reduction in the lipophilicity of aspirin 8.…”
