What Does PPI Stand For?
PPI stands for Proton Pump Inhibitor
PPI, or Proton Pump Inhibitor, refers to a class of medications that reduce gastric acid production by blocking the proton pump in the stomach lining. These drugs are commonly prescribed to treat conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. By decreasing stomach acid, PPIs help alleviate symptoms and promote the healing of the digestive tract.
