Omeprazole Increases the Efficacy of Acyclovir Against Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 and 2
In conclusion, proton pump inhibitors increase the anti-HSV activity of acyclovir and are candidates for antiviral therapies in combination with acyclovir, in particular for topical preparations for the treatment of immunocompromised individuals who are more likely to suffer from severe complications.

In defense of four decades of esophageal function tests. reply to reaction to articles on high resolution manometry, the length of the lower esophageal sphincter and the diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease
CONCLUSION: Recognizing the historical evolution of GERD management can help care providers to better understand therapeutic options for their patients, as well as focus on unmet needs that deserve further attention. PPIs are still the first choice therapy, with good evidence in favor of their efficacy, despite some safety concerns. However, as with any medical intervention, it is recommended to prescribe PPIs for patients with clear indication, using adequate dosing and monitoring for adverse events.RESUMO CONTEXTO: A doen ça do refluxo gastroesofágico (DRGE) é uma das doenças gastrointestinais mais prevalentes, re...

Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic Evaluation of Dexlansoprazole Infusion Injection Compared with Lansoprazole in Healthy Chinese Adults
ConclusionEvery 12  h intravenous dosing of dexlansoprazole up to 30 mg for 5 days was safe and well-tolerated in healthy Chinese subjects. Every 12 h dosing of dexlansoprazole 15 mg has a comparable effect of gastric acid inhibition as lansoprazole 30 mg q12h.Trial RegistrationClinicalTrials.gov ID NCT03120273.

Reply
We thank Dr Sugiyama for his comments on our recent publication of a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial that assessed skeletal effects of treatment with dexlansoprazole (60 mg/d) or esomeprazole (40 mg/d), 2 potent proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), in 115 healthy postmenopausal women.1 The finding that there was no clinically meaningful effect of PPI use on areal-bone mineral density, albeit at 26 weeks, in conjunction with no meaningful impact of PPIs on bone turnover, intestinal calcium absorption, or serum or urine mineral levels, led to our conclusion that neither dexlansoprazole or esomeprazole seem to ha...

Dexlansoprazole and Esomeprazole Do Not Affect Bone Homeostasis in Healthy Postmenopausal Women
Epidemiological studies have associated proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy with osteoporotic fractures, but it is not clear if PPIs directly cause osteoporosis. We evaluated the effect of dexlansoprazole and esomeprazole on bone turnover, bone mineral density (BMD), true fractional calcium absorption (TFCA), serum and urine levels of minerals, and levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH) in healthy postmenopausal women.

Potent Acid Suppression with PPIs and P-CABs: What ’s New?
AbstractPurpose of the reviewAcid suppression treatment has revolutionized the management of the acid-related disorders since the introduction of the H2-receptor antagonists (H2-RAs) and the proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). However, there has been increasing identification of needs for improvement in antisecretory therapy, especially in gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), the eradication ofHelicobacter pylori (H. pylori), protection from aspirin (ASA) and non-steroidal inflammatory drug (NSAID) injury and the management of upper gastrointestinal (UGI) bleeding. There have also been increasing publications addressing safe...
