27
Q

Interactions of Antacids

A

reduce ability to absorb meds

28
Q

When should other medications be taken if pt is taking antacids?

A

the drugs should be taken 2 hours before or after antacids

29
Q

What are H2 receptor antagonist?

A

Drugs that reduce acid secretion
inhibit 90% of acid production

30
Q

What are the H2 antagonists drugs you need to know for the exam?

A

ranitidine hydrochloride (Zantac®)
famotidine (Pepcid®)
Cimetidine

31
Q

what is the MOA of H2 Receptor antagonist’s

A

block acid producing cells,
incresas pH of stomach
relive many sympotooms of hyperacidity

32
Q

Indications of H2 receptor antagonists

A

GERDs
peptic ulcers
Erosive esophagitis
control upper GI bleeds
Zollinger Ellison syndrome

33
Q

What are the AE of H2 receptor antagonists?

A

in the elderly can cause confusion/disorientation
ED
gynecomastia
Thrombocytopenia

34
Q

H2 receptor antagonists Interactions

A

Cimetidine: affect absorption of other meds
All H2 antagonists may inhibit the absorption of drugs that require an acidic gastrointestinal environment for absorption

35
Q

What activity decreases the effectiveness of H2 Antagonists?

A

smoking, taking antacids at the same time

36
Q

What are Proton Pump Inhibitors?

A

They totally block the secretion of H+ ions from the parietal cells

37
Q

What Proton Pump Inhibitors drugs do you need to know for the exam?

A

lansoprazole (Prevacid®)
omeprazole (Losec®)
pantoprazole sodium (Pantoloc®) (only IV med)

38
Q

What is the MOA of Proton Pump Inhibitors?

A

Bind to ATPase enzyme to prevent movement of H+ ion and blocks there secretions

39
Q

What are the Indications of Proton Pump Inhibitors?

A

Gastroesophageal reflux disease
Erosive esophagitis
Short-term treatment of active duodenal and benign gastric ulcers
Zollinger-Ellison syndrome
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)–induced ulcers
Stress ulcer prophylaxis
Treatment of H. pylori–induced infections
Given with an antibiotic

40
Q

What are the AE of Proton Pump Inhibitors?

A

Protein pump inhibitors (PPIs) are generally well tolerated.
Possible predisposition to gastrointestinal tract infections: Clostridium difficile
Osteoporosis and risk of wrist, hip, and spine fractures in long-term users
Pneumonia
Depletion of magnesium

41
Q

What are the interactions of Proton Pump Inhibitors?

A

Increase serum levels of diazepam and phenytoin
Warfarin: increased chance of bleeding
Absorption of ketoconazole, ampicillin, iron salts, and digoxin
Copidogrel (Plavix): risk of MI, death
Sucralfate: may delay the absorption of PPIs
Food may decrease absorption of the PPIs

42
Q

Name the miscellaous Acid controlling drugs

A

sucralfate
misoprostol
Simethicone (Ovol®)

43
Q

Explain Sucralfate

A

must give 2 hrs before meds and 1 hr before meals with empty stomach
cytoprotective e drug
used for stress and peptic ulcers
attaches and binds to base of ulcers and erosions to form a barrier over them to protect them from pepsin

44
Q

Explain Misoprostol

A

Is a prostaglandin (cytoprotective)
not as effective as H2 antagonist or PPIs
used for NSAID gastric ulcers
may induce labor (don’t use of pregnant women)

45
Q

Explain Simethicone

A

is an antiflatulet
alter elasticity of mucous gas bubles
results in decreased gas pain
