Mechanism of action

Unlike proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) that irreversibly block the H+/K+-ATPase, tegoprazan competitively inhibits this pump in a potassium-dependent manner, allowing for more rapid onset and offset of acid suppression. This mechanism may provide faster symptom relief and potentially fewer drug-drug interactions compared to traditional PPIs. Tegoprazan is used to treat acid-related gastrointestinal disorders by maintaining elevated gastric pH.
