Remember
- The effectiveness of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) – esomeprazole, lansoprazole, omeprazole, pantoprazole and rabeprazole – for specific indications has been established over many years, with many evidence-based guidelines available. The most common indication is for suspected or proven gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD).1
