release capsule, absorption begins after the granules have exited the stomach. Peak
concentration in plasma reaches within 0.5-3.5 hours and an estimated 95% binds to
plasma proteins (Shin & Kim, 2013). The P450 cytochrome system in the liver metabolizes
omeprazole and is eliminated in the urine unchanged.PharmacodynamicsAdministered
orally and the maximum effect occurs 1-2 hours after administration. The repeated once-
daily dosing increases its inhibitory effect of secreting gastric acid and reaches a plateau
after four days (Shin & Kim, 2013). It acts by blocking the parietal cells gastric-proton pump
(H+/K+ ATPase) system to reduce the amount of acid made hence a reduction in the
severity of symptoms (Matsui et al., 2015).Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of the
Drug.Patient EducationWe are managing you for GERD and I shall prescribe a drug called
omeprazole, which is a PPI (proton pump inhibitor). Remember to take this medication at
the same time every day (one capsule by mouth before breakfast) to get the most benefit.
2. Expect to see some side effects such as nausea, constipation, diarrhea, and headache, which
should be mild. In case you experience side effects such as swelling of lips, body or tongue,
develop sudden wheezing, reddening and peeling of the skin, stop-taking omeprazole, and
visit the nearest healthcare provider (Schoenfeld & Grady, 2016). In case of a missed dose,
take the drug as soon as you remember but if it is the time is close to your next dose; do not
take two doses at the same time. You should begin to feel better in 2-3 days but make sure
to complete the dose.Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of the Drug.
