Q

antacids drug effects?

A

Reduction of pain and reflux associated with acid-related disorders
- Raising the gastric pH 1 point (1.3 to 2.3) neutralizes 90% of the gastric acid.
- Reducing acidity reduces pain as a result of:
Base-mediated inhibition of the protein-digesting ability of pepsin
Increase in the resistance of the stomach lining to irritation
Increase in the tone of the cardiac sphincter

Q

Antacids: Contraindications

A
  • Known allergy to a specific drug product
  • Severe renal failure or electrolyte disturbances: potential toxic accumulation of electrolytes in the antacids themselves
  • Gastrointestinal obstruction: Antacids may stimulate gastrointestinal motility when they are undesirable because of the presence of an obstructive process requiring surgical intervention.

used to relieve the painful symptoms associated with gas

26
Q

Antacids: Adverse Effects

A

Minimal and depend on the compound used
- Overuse: metabolic alkalosis

A

simethicone

27
Q

atancids drug interactions -Adsorption of other drugs to antacids

A

Reduces the ability of the other drug to be absorbed into the body

28
Q

antacids drug interactions - Chelation

A

Chemical binding, or inactivation, of another drug
Produces insoluble complexes
Result: reduced drug absorption

29
Q

antacids dug interactions - increased stomach ph

A

Increased absorption of basic drugs
Decreased absorption of acidic drugs

30
Q

antacids drug interactiins - increased urinary ph

A

Increased excretion of acidic drugs
Decreased excretion of basic drugs

31
Q

H2 Receptor Antagonists

A

Reduce acid secretion
All available OTC in lower-dosage forms

32
Q

H2 receptor agonists - Most popular drugs for treatment of acid-related disorders

A
  • ranitidine hydrochloride (Zantac®)
  • famotidine (Pepcid®)
33
Q

H2 Antagonists: Mechanism of Action

A

Competitively block the H2 receptor of acid-producing parietal cells
Reduce hydrogen ion secretion from the parietal cells
Increase in the pH of the stomach
Relieve of many of the symptoms associated with hyperacidity-related conditions

34
Q

H2 Antagonists: Drug Effect and Indications

A

Drug effect:
Suppressed acid secretion in the stomach
Indications:
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
Peptic ulcer disease
Erosive esophagitis
Adjunct therapy to control upper gastrointestinal bleeding
Zollinger-Ellison syndrome

35
Q

H2 Antagonists: Adverse Effects

A

Overall, very few adverse effects
Central nervous system adverse effects in elderly patients include confusion and disorientation.
Cimetidine may cause erectile dysfunction and gynecomastia.
Thrombocytopenia has been reported with ranitidine hydrochloride and famotidine.

36
Q

H2 Antagonists: Drug Interactions(1 of 2)

A
  • All H2 antagonists may inhibit the absorption of drugs that require an acidic gastrointestinal environment for absorption.
    Because of its potential to cause drug interactions, -cimetidine has been largely replaced by ranitidine and famotidine.
37
Q

H2 Antagonists: Drug Interactions (2 of 2)

A
  • Smoking has been shown to decrease the effectiveness of H2 blockers.
  • For optimal results, H2 receptor antagonists are taken 1 hour before antacids.
38
Q

Proton Pump Inhibitors do what

A

The parietal cells release positive hydrogen ions (protons) during hydrochloric acid production.
This process is called the proton pump.
H2 blockers and antihistamines do not stop the action of this pump.

39
Q

types of proton pump inhibitors, ends with zoles.

A

lansoprazole (Prevacid®)
omeprazole (Losec®)
pantoprazole sodium (Pantoloc®)

40
Q

Proton Pump Inhibitors: Mechanism of Action

A

Irreversibly bind to H+/K+ adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) enzyme
This bond prevents the movement of hydrogen ions from the parietal cell into the stomach.
Results in achlorhydria—all gastric acid secretion is temporarily blocked.
To return to normal acid secretion, the parietal cell must synthesize new H+/K+ ATPase.

41
Q

Proton Pump Inhibitors: Indications

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

42
Q

Proton Pump Inhibitors: Adverse Effects

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

43
Q

Proton Pump Inhibitors: Drug Interactions

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.

44
Q

Miscellaneous Acid-Controlling Drugs

A

sucralfate
misoprostol
Simethicone (Ovol®)

45
Q

Sucralfate ( know this)

A

Cytoprotective drug
Used for stress ulcers, peptic ulcer disease.
Attracted to and binds to the base of ulcers and erosions, forming a protective barrier over these areas.
Protects these areas from pepsin, which normally breaks down proteins (making ulcers worse). Little absorption from the gut.
May cause constipation, nausea, and dry mouth.
May impair absorption of other drugs. Give other drugs at least 2 hours before sucralfate.
Do not administer with other medications.
Binds with phosphate; may be used in chronic renal failure to reduce phosphate levels

46
Q

Misoprostol

A

Prostaglandin E analogue
Prostaglandins have cytoprotective activity.
Protect gastric mucosa from injury by enhancing local production of mucus or bicarbonate
Promote local cell regeneration
Help to maintain mucosal blood flow. Used for prevention of NSAID-induced gastric ulcers
Doses that are therapeutic enough to treat duodenal ulcers often produce abdominal cramps and diarrhea.

47
Q

Simethicone

A

Antiflatulent drug
Used to reduce the discomforts of gastric or intestinal gas (flatulence)
Alters elasticity of mucus-coated gas bubbles, breaking them into smaller ones
Result is decreased gas pain and increased expulsion via mouth or rectum.

48
Q

Nursing Implications: Antacids

A

Assess for allergies and pre-existing conditions that may restrict the use of antacids, such as:
Fluid imbalances
Renal disease
Gastrointestinal obstruction
Heart failure
Pregnancy
Patients with heart failure or hypertension should not use antacids with high sodium content.

49
Q

Nursing Implications: Antacids

A

Use with caution with other medications because of the many drug interactions.
Administer antacids within 1 to 2 hours of other medications.
Antacids may cause premature dissolving of enteric-coated medications, resulting in stomach upset.

49
Q

Nursing Implications: Antacids

A

Be sure that chewable tablets are chewed thoroughly and that liquid forms are shaken well before giving.
Administer with at least 240 mL of water to enhance absorption (except for “rapid-dissolve” forms).

50
Q

Nursing Implications: Antacids

A

Long-term self-medication with antacids may mask symptoms of serious underlying diseases, such as malignancy or bleeding ulcers.
If symptoms remain ongoing, the patient should seek medical evaluation.

51
Q

Nursing Implications: Antacids - adverse effects and therapeutic response.

A

Monitor for adverse effects.
Nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea
With calcium-containing products: constipation, acid rebound
Monitor for therapeutic response.
Notify the health care provider if symptoms are not relieved.

52
Q

Nursing Implications: H2 Antagonists

A

Assess for allergies and impaired renal or liver function.
Use with caution in patients who are confused, disoriented, or in older adult patients.
Take 1 to 2 hours before antacids.
For intravenous doses, follow administration guidelines.

53
Q

Nursing Implications: Proton Pump Inhibitors

A

Assess for allergies and history of liver disease.
Not all are available for parenteral administration.
May increase serum levels of diazepam and phenytoin; may increase chance for bleeding with warfarin. The granules of pantoprazole capsules may be given via nasogastric tubes
Capsules may be open and their contents mixed with apple juice, but delayed-release granules are not to be crushed or chewed.
