A message from Kristine, founder of NurseInTheMaking📣
My name is Kristine and I survived nursing school…and you can too!
Nurse In The Making was inspired during my time in nursing school. I immediately struggled and decided to create my own study guides. These guides have helped me personally as well as many others make nursing school just a little more manageable. I hope you find comfort knowing that everyone struggles at times. Nursing school is emotionally and physically draining. I hope these informative, clean, and simple guides help you navigate through all the information because there is A LOT of it in nursing school.
Happy Studying Future Nurses. Don't forget to enjoy the journey!

Hello and thank you for this great video! How do proton pump inhibitors fit into this? Are they also antacids?

[@NurseInTheMaking]

Thanks for your question! PPIs work to reduce the production of acids, whereas antacids work to neutralize the acid already produced that may be causing symptoms. They are two different classes of medications. I hope this helps answer your question!

I didn’t understand!? Do we take them before or after a meal? In order to neutralize the acidity, then there should be an acid in the stomach, and this means these drugs should be administered after meals, is that right?

[@NurseInTheMaking]

Antacids work as a base to neutralize the hydrochloric acid present in the stomach. By taking these medications on an empty stomach, it allows the acid to be neutral when food is ingested and additional acid is added to the stomach. This results in less discomfort, indigestion, or other symptoms associated with excessive acid accumulation. Thanks for your question & best of luck with your nursing journey! 🙌
