QUESTION

Drug which is considered as proton pump inhibitor is?

OPTIONS

(A) Nizatidine
(B) Omeprazole
(C) Gefarnate
(D) Cimetidine

ANSWER

(B) Omeprazole

EXPLANATION

Omeprazole is a proton-pump inhibitor that irreversibly suppresses the gastric H+/K+-ATPase and reduces acid secretion. Nizatidine and cimetidine are H2 antagonists, while gefarnate is a mucosal-protective drug rather than a proton-pump inhibitor.
