Vonoprazan Prescribing Essentials: A Medical Practitioner's Handbook - Paperback

by Asharani Sah (Author)

Vonoprazan, marketed under brand names like Takecab(R) (Japan) and Voquezna(R) (USA), is a next-generation potassium-competitive acid blocker (PCAB) that is transforming the treatment of acid-related gastrointestinal disorders. With its rapid onset, powerful acid suppression, and flexible dosing, vonoprazan is emerging as a superior alternative to traditional proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) in many clinical settings.

This comprehensive reference offers everything prescribers need to understand, initiate, and monitor vonoprazan therapy in real-world practice. Inside, you'll find:

• Mechanism of action and pharmacologic comparisons with PPIs

• Indication-based dosing for GERD, erosive esophagitis, and H. pylori eradication

• Case-based learning modules for clinical decision-making and problem-solving

• Drug interaction guidance (CYP3A, pH-dependent agents, antiretrovirals)

• Adverse effect monitoring and long-term safety strategies

• Use in special populations: renal/hepatic impairment, pregnancy, elderly

• Patient counselling tools for pharmacists and nurses

• Insights into emerging uses (Barrett's esophagus, Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome, dual therapy protocols)

Whether you're a primary care physician, gastroenterologist, hospital pharmacist, or advanced practice nurse, this book is your trusted reference for integrating vonoprazan-based therapy (Voquezna, Takecab) into clinical care-with clarity, confidence, and safety.
