What You Should Know About Proton Pump Inhibitors What are proton pump inhibitors? Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) work by lowering the amount of acid in the stomach. PPIs treat conditions caused by too much stomach acid. Some of these conditions are heartburn or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and ulcers. These are the PPIs available in the U.S. and Canada (“*” indicates p
