Abstract

Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) are among the most commonly prescribed medications worldwide for conditions related to excessive gastric acid production, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Their efficacy in suppressing gastric acid secretion has made them the drug of choice in both short-term and long-term management of acid-related disorders (Maideen, 2023).
