PHARMACHOLOGIC EFFECT

Antiulcer drug.

Mechanism of action

Omeprazole is a weak base.
Concentrates in the acidic environment of the secretory tubules of parietal cells of the gastric mucosa, is activated and inhibits the proton pump - the enzyme H + -K + -ATP-ase.
Effect of omeprazole on the last stage of the process of formation of hydrochloric acid in the stomach is dose-dependent and provides a highly effective inhibition of basal and stimulated secretion of hydrochloric acid regardless of the stimulating factor.

Effect on secretion of gastric juice

Omeprazole with a daily oral administration provides a fast and effective inhibition of day and night secretion of hydrochloric acid.

The maximum effect is achieved within 4 days of treatment.
In patients with duodenal ulcers, omeprazole at a dose of 20 mg causes a steady decrease in 24-hour gastric acidity by at least 80%. At the same time, the mean C max of hydrochloric acid is reduced after pentagastrin stimulation by 70% within 24 hours.
In patients with duodenal ulcer omeprazole at a dose of 20 mg with a daily oral administration maintains in the intragastric environment the pH value of acidity?
3 on average for 17 hours a day.
The inhibition of the secretion of hydrochloric acid depends on the AUC of omeprazole, and not on the concentration of the drug in the plasma at a given time.

Action on Helicobacter pylori

In vitro, omeprazole has a bactericidal effect against Helicobacter pylori.

Eradication of Helicobacter pylori with omeprazole together with antibacterial agents is accompanied by rapid elimination of symptoms, high healing of defects in the gastrointestinal mucosa and long-term remission of peptic ulcer, which reduces the likelihood of complications such as bleeding, as effectively as constant maintenance therapy.

Other effects associated with inhibition of hydrochloric acid secretion

In patients taking drugs that reduce the secretion of the glands of the stomach, for a long period of time, the formation of glandular cysts in the stomach is more often noted;
cysts are benign and pass independently on the background of continuation of therapy.
A decrease in the secretion of hydrochloric acid in the stomach leads to a slight increase in the risk of intestinal infections caused by Salmonella spp., РЎampylobacter spp.
and Clostridium difficile.
During treatment with drugs that reduce the secretion of the glands of the stomach, the concentration of gastrin in the blood serum increases.
Due to a decrease in the secretion of hydrochloric acid, the concentration of chromogranin A increases.
PHARMACOKINETICS

Suction

Omeprazole is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, C max of omeprazole in blood plasma is reached after 0.5-1 hour. Bioavailability after a single oral intake is 30-40%, after a constant intake 1 time / day, bioavailability increases to 60%.
Eating does not affect the bioavailability of omeprazole.
Distribution

The binding of omeprazole to plasma proteins is about 95%, V d is 0.3 l / kg.

Metabolism

Part of omeprazole undergoes pre-systemic hepatic metabolism involving isoenzymes CYP2S19 and CYP3A4 with the formation of inactive metabolites of sulfone, sulfide and hydroxyomeprazole.
Omeprazole, not included parietal cells in the formation of active metabolites, is completely metabolized in the liver also with the participation of isoenzymes CYP2S19 and CYP3A4.
Excretion

The total plasma clearance is 0.3-0.6 l / min.

T 1/2 is about 40 minutes (30-90 minutes).
About 80% is excreted as metabolites by the kidneys, the rest - by the intestine.
Pharmacokinetics in specific patient groups

There were no significant changes in the bioavailability of omeprazole in elderly patients or in patients with impaired renal function.

In patients with impaired liver function, there is an increase in the bioavailability of omeprazole and a significant decrease in plasma clearance.

Adults

With peptic ulcer of the stomach and duodenum (including for the prevention of relapses), the drug is prescribed 20 mg once a day;
patients resistant to treatment with other antiulcer drugs, Omez В® is prescribed in a dose of 40 mg / day. The course of treatment for duodenal ulcer is 2 weeks, if necessary - up to 4 weeks; with peptic ulcer of the stomach - 4-8 weeks.
In gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) , depending on the severity of esophagitis, it is prescribed from 20 mg to 80 mg per day.
The duration of the main course also depends on the severity of the esophagitis and is 4-8 weeks. Supportive therapy should be carried out at the lowest effective dose, incl. on demand, with intermittent courses. The duration of maintenance therapy is determined by the doctor.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

In the presence of any anxiety symptoms, such as significant spontaneous weight loss, frequent vomiting, dysphagia, vomiting with blood or melena, and in the presence of a stomach ulcer (or suspected gastric ulcer), the possibility of malignant growth should be excluded, since treatment with Omez В® can lead to a smoothing of the symptoms and delay the diagnosis.

The decrease in the secretion of hydrochloric acid in the stomach under the influence of proton pump inhibitors leads to an increase in the growth of normal intestinal microflora and may lead to a slight increase in the risk of intestinal infections caused by bacteria of the genus Salmonella spp., Campylobacter spp., And also bacteria Clostridium difficile.

Reducing acidity on the background of taking omeprazole can also lead to a decrease in absorption of vitamin B 12 (cyanocobalamin).

With the simultaneous use of omeprazole with clopidogrel, a decrease in the antiplatelet effect of the latter is observed.

Patients with a risk of developing osteoporosis or fractures against it should be under appropriate clinical supervision, although a causal relationship between the use of omeprazole / esomeprazole with fractures against osteoporosis is not established.

There are reports of the emergence of severe hypomagnesemia in patients receiving proton pump inhibitors therapy, including
omeprazole, more than one year. Patients receiving omeprazole therapy for a long time, especially in combination with digoxin or other drugs that reduce the magnesium content in the blood plasma (diuretics) require regular monitoring of the magnesium content.
Before using the drug, the patient should consult a doctor in the following cases:

- in the presence of a previously diagnosed gastric ulcer, severe liver disease accompanied by hepatic insufficiency, renal failure, jaundice, previous surgical intervention on the gastrointestinal tract;

- in the presence of anxiety symptoms (significant spontaneous weight loss, repeated vomiting, vomiting with blood, a change in color of stool (tarry stool - melena), impaired swallowing);

- with the appearance of new symptoms or a change in the already existing symptoms from the gastrointestinal tract;

- with simultaneous use with one or more of the following drugs (clopidogrel, digoxin, ketoconazole, itraconazole, warfarin, cilostazol, diazepam, phenytoin, saquinavir, tacrolimus, clarithromycin, voriconazole, rifampicin, St. John's wort preparations).

Impact on laboratory tests

A decrease in the level of hydrochloric acid secretion can lead to an increase in the concentration of chromogranin A (CgA), which affects the results of the examinations for the detection of neuroendocrine tumors.
To prevent this effect, therapy with proton pump inhibitors should be suspended 5 days before the study of the concentration of CgA.
Impact on the ability to drive vehicles and manage mechanisms

During treatment with omeprazole, dizziness, drowsiness, and visual impairment may occur, therefore, care should be taken when driving vehicles and performing other potentially dangerous activities requiring increased concentration of attention and speed of psychomotor reactions.

OVERDOSE

Symptoms: confusion, blurred vision, drowsiness, dry mouth, headache, nausea, tachycardia, arrhythmia.
Treatment: symptomatic therapy, hemodialysis is not effective enough.
DRUG INTERACTION

Means a pH-dependent absorption
Like other drugs, lowering gastric acidity, omeprazole treatment may result in decreased absorption of ketoconazole, itraconazole, posaconazole, erlotinib, iron and cyanocobalamin. Combined use should be avoided with omeprazole.
Digoxin
bioavailability of digoxin while the use of omeprazole is increased by 10% (may require correction mode digoxin). Caution must be exercised while the use of these drugs in elderly patients.
clopidogrel
According to the research mentioned interaction between clopidogrel (300 mg loading dose, a maintenance dose of 75 mg / day) and omeprazole (80 mg / day orally), which reduces the exposure of the active metabolite of clopidogrel and reduce platelet aggregation inhibition. Probably, the observed effect is due to the inhibitory effect of omeprazole on isoenzyme CYP2C19. Therefore, you should avoid the simultaneous use of omeprazole and clopidogrel.
antiretrovirals
The increase in pH during treatment with omeprazole may interfere with the absorption of antiretroviral drugs. It is also possible for the interaction CYP2C19 isozyme level. If concomitant use of omeprazole and certain antiretroviral drugs such as atazanavir and nelfinavir, against the background of omeprazole therapy, there is a decrease in their serum concentrations. While the use of omeprazole is reduced by 75% AUC atazanavir. In this connection, the combined use of omeprazole with antiretroviral drugs such as nelfinavir and atazanavir, is contraindicated.
While the use of omeprazole marked increase in plasma concentrations of saquinavir / ritonavir to 70%, while the patients tolerated the treatment of HIV infection is not deteriorated.
tacrolimus
With simultaneous use of omeprazole and tacrolimus was observed increase of tacrolimus concentrations in blood serum, which may require correction of the dose. It is necessary to control the spacecraft and the concentration of tacrolimus in the blood plasma by combining it with omeprazole.
Methotrexate
When combined with methotrexate proton pump inhibitors in some patients, there was a slight increase in MTX concentration in blood plasma. In the treatment with high-dose methotrexate should temporarily stop the use of omeprazole.
Formulations which participates in the metabolism of CYP2C19 isozyme
While the use of omeprazole may increase plasma concentrations and increased T 1/2warfarin (R-warfarin), diazepam, phenytoin, cilostazol, imipramine, clomipramine, citalopram, hexobarbital, disulfiram, and other drugs metabolized in the liver with isoenzyme CYP2C19 (may require dose reduction of these drugs). However, omeprazole 20 mg / day did not affect the concentration of phenytoin in the blood plasma in patients receiving long-term phenytoin. When omeprazole patients receiving warfarin and other vitamin K antagonists, requires monitoring INR. At the same time concomitant treatment with omeprazole 20 mg daily dose does not change the time of coagulation in patients receiving long-term warfarin.
Inhibitors isozymes CYP2C19 and / or CYP3A4
The simultaneous use of inhibitors of isozymes CYP2C19 and / or CYP3A4 metabolism slows omeprazole.
When co-administered with omeprazole clarithromycin or erythromycin concentration of omeprazole in blood plasma increases.
The combined use of voriconazole and omeprazole leads to an increase in AUC of omeprazole.
Omeprazole dose adjustment when combined with inhibitors of isozymes CYP2C19 and / or CYP3A4 may be required in patients with severe liver failure in the case of prolonged use of omeprazole. For short joint application of adjustment is required in connection with the good tolerability of high doses of omeprazole.
Inductors isozymes CYP2C19 and CYP3A4
Inductors isozymes CYP2C19 and CYP3A4, such as rifampicin, Hypericum perforatum preparations (Hypericum perforatum), when combined with omeprazole may lead to a decrease in the concentration of omeprazole in blood plasma by accelerating the metabolism of omeprazole.
No effect on the metabolism of
Joint reception of omeprazole with amoxicillin or metronidazole does not affect the concentration of omeprazole in blood plasma.
Not identified clinically significant interactions with omeprazole metoprolol, phenacetin, estradiol, budesonide, diclofenac, naproxen, piroxicam, S-warfarin.
Revealed no effect of omeprazole on antacids, theophylline, caffeine, quinidine, lidocaine, propranolol, ethanol.
