Q

how do the H+/K+ ATPase pump inhibitors get targeted to their site of action?

A

they are prodrugs and only in the acidic gastric secretory canaliculi are they catalyzed to a sulfonamide

Q

MOA of H+/K+ ATPase pump inhibitors

A

irreversibly inactivate the H+/K+ ATPase pump, so only way for the stomach to overcome it is to make new proton pumps!

Q

MOA of sucralfate

A

in stomach acid, forms a polymer gel in the acid environment. adheres to epithelial cells and ulcer craters to protect the ulcer by coating it from pepsin hydrolysis

Q

which antacid has constipation as side effect? diarrhea?

A

constipation: Al(OH)3
diarrhea: Mg(OH)2

so Mg and Al are combined in many antacid preps to offset each other

Q

cautions for antacids

A

avoid concurrent administration of antacids and drugs intended for systemic absorprtion (antacids can change drug absoprtion and elimination because they alter gastric and urinary pH)

19
Q

bismuth subsalicylate

A

trivlanet bismuth and salicylate suspended in mix of magnesium aluminum silicate clay

20
Q

use of bismuth subsalicylate

A

ulcer

21
Q

black stools, black tongue side effect comes from?

A

bismuth subsalicylate

22
Q

antibiotic for H pylori consists of

A

multi agent antibiotic therapy (single one is ineffective)

23
Q

tx strategy for NSAID related mucosal injury

A

if can’t stop using NSAID:
reduce acid
replace prostaglandins (not used much)

24
Q

treatment for active ulcers that are non-H pylori and non-NSAID

A

reduce acid
