Which PPI has the most rapid conversion to its active form across a wider range of pH levels, potentially offering a faster onset of action?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Rabeprazole
Rabeprazole is converted to its active sulfenamide form more rapidly than other PPIs over a broader pH range. This pharmacokinetic property may lead to a slightly faster onset of acid inhibition.
