DEXLANSOPRAZOLE vs ZEGERID
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Proton pump inhibitor that suppresses gastric acid secretion by specific inhibition of the (H+, K+)-ATPase enzyme system at the secretory surface of the gastric parietal cell.
Proton pump inhibitor that irreversibly inhibits the H+/K+ ATPase enzyme system at the secretory surface of gastric parietal cells, suppressing basal and stimulated gastric acid secretion.
30 mg orally once daily for 4 weeks for healing of erosive esophagitis; maintenance therapy: 30 mg orally once daily for up to 6 months. For GERD: 30 mg orally once daily for 4 weeks.
20 mg or 40 mg orally once daily before a meal.

1-2 hours; clinical context: duration of acid suppression exceeds half-life due to binding to proton pumps
Clinical Note
moderateDexlansoprazole + Clodronic acid
"The therapeutic efficacy of Clodronic acid can be decreased when used in combination with Dexlansoprazole."
Clinical Note
moderateDexlansoprazole + Alendronic acid
"The therapeutic efficacy of Alendronic acid can be decreased when used in combination with Dexlansoprazole."
Clinical Note
moderateDexlansoprazole + Technetium Tc-99m medronate
"The therapeutic efficacy of Technetium Tc-99m medronate can be decreased when used in combination with Dexlansoprazole."
Clinical Note
moderate1.0–1.5 hours in plasma; however, the pharmacodynamic half-life is longer due to irreversible inhibition of H+/K+-ATPase; drug effect persists for 24 hours after single dose.
Renal: 0% unchanged; metabolites eliminated via urine (51%) and feces (48%)
Approximately 82% renal (as metabolites), 18% fecal (via bile); less than 1% unchanged in urine.
