Abstract
Potassium-competitive acid blockers (P-CABs) are a new class of acid-suppressing drugs; to date, only one of them (vonoprazan) has been approved for use in the United States. The authors of this article review how P-CABs (and vonoprazan in particular) differ from proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), evidence supporting their effectiveness, indications for vonoprazan, and ongoing and future studies.
期刊介绍:
The mission of Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine (CCJM) is to provide its readers with up-to-date, practical, clinical information relevant to internal medicine, cardiology, and related fields. Consistent with this mission, CCJM focuses on timely review articles and other content that has a continuing-education orientation rather than on original research or case reports. CCJM authors, drawn from Cleveland Clinic and other top medical institutions throughout the world, are asked to identify new findings that are changing the practice of medicine and to advise readers how to apply them in daily patient care. Authors are chosen for their experience, acquired through caring for patients, teaching other physicians, and researching clinical questions.
