I could go on and on about how adorable they are, but I've always been one for visuals. Here is a sample of our beginning of the year David project (as in David Shannon's. David Goes to School picture book). Enjoy.
PPIâs are drugs which reduce gastric acid production in the stomach. These are commonly prescribed for GERD and for gastric ulcers. According to Medicine-net.com this is how they work: proton pump inhibitors reduce the production of acid by blocking the enzyme in the wall of the stomach that produces acid.
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are usually taken one time a day. They are sometimes taken two times a day if a stronger dose is needed. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) greatly reduce the amount of acid produced by the stomach, which in turn reduces irritation of the stomach lining and allows an ulcer to heal. When used with antibiotics, PPIs also help treat Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. Proton pump inhibitors are used to treat ulcers.
