The half-life of the ketorolac tromethamine S-enantiomer was approximately 2.5 hours (SD Â± 0.4) compared with 5 hours (SD Â± 1.7) for the R-enantiomer. In other studies, the half-life for the racemate has been reported to lie within the range of 5 to 6 hours.
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are a group of drugs whose main action is a pronounced and long-lasting reduction of gastric acid production. Within the class of medications, there is no clear evidence that one agent works better than another. They are the most potent inhibitors of acid secretion available.
Proton pump inhibitors are a type of acid reducer that helps to decrease levels of acid in your stomach. They work by causing your body to make less stomach acid. This helps to treat heartburn and acid reflux problems. Another type of acid reducer, in addition to a proton pump inhibitor, is an H2 blocker.
