What is the generic suffix commonly found in proton pump inhibitors like omeprazole, pantoprazole, and rabeprazole?

  1. zepam

  2. zolam

  3. zepine

  4. prazole

The correct answer is: prazole

The correct answer is D. The generic suffix commonly found in proton pump inhibitors like omeprazole, pantoprazole, and rabeprazole is "prazole." This suffix is specific to medications that belong to the proton pump inhibitor class, which are commonly used to treat conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and ulcers by reducing the production of stomach acid. Options A, B, and C do not represent the common suffix used in proton pump inhibitors and are more commonly found in other classes of medications.
