Altered gastric pH Click to Show/Hide Mechanism Graph
Drug Name		Pantoprazole				Indinavir
Mechanism		Gastric alkalinizer				Gastric pH sensitive
Key Mechanism Factor 1
		Factor Name		Gastric pH
		Factor Description		The normal pH range of gastric acid is between 1.5 and 3.5 and is highly acidic, consisting mainly of hydrochloric acid. Changes in the pH of the stomach can alter the absorption of drugs.
Mechanism Description		Decreased absorption of Indinavir due to altered gastric pH caused by Pantoprazole
