Acid Controlling Drugs Flashcards
The stomach secretes what?
HCL
bicarbonate
pepsinogen
intrinsic factor
mucus
prostaglandins (anti inflammatory)
What are the three glands of the stomach
Cardiac
Pyloric
Gastric
Name the Cells of the Gastric Glands
Parietal
Chief
Mucous
Endocrine
Enterochromaffin
What do Parietal cells produce?
HCL
What do chief cells do?
break down proteins
What do Mucous cells do?
protects the stomach from acidity of the stomach environment
What is Peptic Ulcer diseasae?
Ulcers that involve the digestion of the GI mucosa caused by pepsin; can be casues by bacteria (H. pylori)
What is the treatment regime of Peptic Ulcer disease?
Triple therapy: 7-14 days, of proton pump inhibitors, clarithromycin, amoxicillin, metronidazole, or Quadruple therapy of the previous drugs + bismuth subsalicylates
What is Stress related Mucosal damage?
Due to high stress environment of hospital it causes GI lesions, GI ischemia
What are the types of Acid controlling drugs?
Antacids
H2 antagonists
PPIs
What do Antacids do?
neutralize the stomach acidity, may contian an antiflatulant, and amgnesium to prevent contipation,
What elements are constipating?
aluminum and calcium
What are the Antacids you need to know for the exam?
calcium
containing magnesium
Sodium bicarbonate
MOA of Antacids?
Stimulate mucus, bicarbonate, prostaglandins. these all buffer and neutralize acid secretions
How do Antacids effect the body
Stops the irritation of the stomach lining, neutralizes 90% of gastric acid, raises pH 1.3-2.3 points
Who needs antacids?
acute relief of peptic ulcers, gastritis, gastric hyperacidity, heart burn
what are the contraindications of antacids?
allergy
severe renal failure
accumulation of electrolytes
obstruction (tumor, stricter)
What are the types of Antacids?
Aluminum hydroxide
Magnesium hydroxide
Simethicone
Combination aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide contain a local anesthetic
Describe Aluminum salts?
are very constipating
recommended for renal disease
Describe Magnesium salts?
cause diarrhea
very dangerous when pt is in renal failure
Describe Calcium salts
may cause constipation and kidney stones
not recommended for renal disease
have a long duration
Describe Sodium bicarbonate
Highly soluble
buffers acidic properties
may cause metabolic alkalosis
fast onset short duration
contains sodium may cause fluid overload
Which Antacid can a pt. with renal failure use?
Aluminum salt antacid
What are Antiflatulets?
Helps relive painful symptoms with gas
what is the Antiflatulents drug on the exam?
simethicone
Antacids AEs
overuse= metabolic acidosis
contipation
diarrhea
rebound hyperacididty
