Abstract

All of the antiulcer agents have been implicated in drug interactions. These agents generally influence the absorption, metabolism, or elimination of other medications. However, these interactions can lead to alterations in pharmacodynamic response. The mechanisms by which antiulcer agents produce drug interactions differ among the agents. It is beyond the scope of this article to review all of the drug interactions that have been reported with antiulcer agents. However, it is the intent to provide the reader with a detailed understanding of the mechanisms by which antiulcer agents may interact with other medications and to provide insight into factors that may influence the potential magnitude or clinical consequences of these interactions. An understanding of antiulcer drug interactions will aid pharmacists in assisting clinicians with drug selection and/or monitoring of drug interactions. Specifically, pharmacists can assist with the identification of potential antiulcer drug interactions and develop strategies designed to minimize adverse consequences of these interactions.
