Pain units are used to treating patients with a wide range of diseases, including acid related-disorders, who are also being prescribed many different drugs, like NSAIDs, corticosteroids or biphosponates, which may reactívate or even worsen acid-related disorders. Knowledge of the pharmacological aspects of PPIs, both their pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, is needed to properly choose the one which fits most to our multi-pathologic, multi-treated patients, in order to avoid possible pharmacological interactions than could endanger their health condition.
