Final answer:

Esomeprazole and pantoprazole are the 2 PPIs that are available IV for conditions such as severe GERD or ulcers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) work by reducing the production of stomach acid. Two PPIs that are available intravenously (IV) are esomeprazole and pantoprazole. These medications can be given through an IV for conditions such as severe gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or ulcers that cannot be treated with oral medications.
