During treatment with proton pump inhibitors, gastrin plasma levels rise as a result of reduced intragastric secretion of hydrochloric acid. In patients taking proton pump inhibitors for a long time, the formation of glandular cysts in the stomach is more often noted. These phenomena are due to physiological changes as a result of inhibition of the secretion of hydrochloric acid.

It is believed that with simultaneous use, it is possible to reduce plasma concentrations and the clinical efficacy of itraconazole and Ketoconazole.
