Drug action mechanisms of acid-suppression medication

Active substanceMechanism of gastric acid suppression
AntacidsSlight bases neutralizing gastric acid
SucralfateAluminum compound acquiring a strong negative charge on aluminum release, binds to positive charges in its environment
H2-receptor blockerAntagonist for the stimulating effect of histamine through its H2-receptor on the basolateral surface of parietal cells
PPIPotent, irreversible blocker of the acid pump function (H+, K+, ATPase) on parietal cells
