Omez 10
Omeprazole 10 mg.
Pharmacology
Mechanism of Action
PPI; binds to H+/K+-exchanging ATPase (proton pump) in gastric parietal cells, resulting in suppression of basal and stimulated acid secretion
Absorption
Bioavailability: 30-40%
Onset of action: 1 hr (antisecretory effect)
Duration: 73 hr
Peak plasma time: 0.5-3.5 hr
Peak response (PUD): 2 hr (initial); 5 days (peak)
Distribution
Protein bound: 95-96%
Vd: 0.39 L/kg
Metabolism
Metabolized extensively by hepatic CYP2C19; slow metabolizers are deficient in CYP2C19 enzyme system; plasma concentration can increase by 5-fold or higher in comparison with that found in persons with the enzyme
Metabolites: Hydroxyomeprazole, omeprazole sulfone, omeprazole sulfide (inactive)
Enzymes inhibited: CYP2C19
Elimination
Half-life: 0.5-1 hr; increases to 3 hr with hepatic impairment
Dialyzable: No
Total body clearance: 500-600 mL/min
Excretion: Urine (77%); feces (16-19%; mainly in bile)
Pharmacogenomics
CYP2C19 poor metabolizers
- Asians have ~4-fold higher exposure to omeprazole than whites
- CYP2C19, a polymorphic enzyme, is involved in the metabolism of omeprazole
- ~15-20% of Asians are CYP2C19 poor metabolizers
- Tests are available to identify a patient’s CYP2C19 genotype
- Avoid use in Asian patients with unknown CYP2C19 genotype or those who are known to be poor metabolizers
