An inhibitor of stomach acid secretion is Re 20 20 mg, a benzimidazole replacement.
By inhibiting the hydrogen-potassium-adenosine triphosphatase (H+/K+ ATPase) enzyme system in the gastric parietal cell, it prevents the release of gastric acid. Following oral administration, the antisecretory effect starts to take effect in about an hour, peaks in two hours, and the inhibition of secretion lasts up to 72 hours.
