Study this Proton Pump Inhibitors NCLEX mnemonic and other mnemonics with Pixorize.

Proton pump inhibitors, or PPIs, are a class of drugs easily recognizable by their “-prazole” endings, including omeprazole, lansoprazole, and pantoprazole. PPIs work to suppress production of stomach acid, which can be used to treat and prevent stomach ulcers and acid reflux, also known as GERD. There aren’t many short-term side effects of these drugs, but if taken for a long period of time, PPIs can increase the risk of developing osteoporosis and bone fractures, infections with c. difficile, and pneumonia.
