Acid-Peptic Disorders Flashcards
Which receptors are found on parietal cells and stimulate HCl secretion?
- Gastrin (CCK-B)
- Histamine (H2)
- Ach (M3 muscarinic)
What is MOA of gastrin, Ach, and histamine?
When they bind there receptor on parietal cells, they:
- increase cytosolic calcium
- stimulate protein kinases
- stimulate acid secretion from a H/K ATPase (proton pump)
T/F If you block the H/K ATPase you can’t make HCl
TRUE
T/F If you block the histamine/H2 or gastrin receptor/CCK-B you can still make HCl
TRUE
What are the two classes of drug tx in acid secretion?
- reduce intragastric acidity
2. promote mucosal defense
Name the three drug classes that reduce intragastric acidity?
- Antacids-TUMS, Mylanta, Alkaseltzer
- H2 blockers -Cimetidine, Ranitidine
- Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPI) (Prilosec, Protonix)
What is the clinical use of antacids?
heart burn and dyspepsia
How do antacids work?
they are weak bases that react with HCl to form salt and water
-single dose of 156 mEq given 1 hr after a meal effectively neutralizes gastric acid for up to 2 hours
T/F Antacids work better for duodenal ulcers?
TRUE
What is MOA of sodium bicarbonate?
reacts with HCl to make CO2 and NaCl
What are the ADE of sodium bicarbonate? (3)
Ex. Baking soda, Alka seltzer
- CO2 causes belching and gastric distention
- metabolic alkalosis
- NaCl absorption may exacerbate fluid retention in pts with CHF, HTN, and renal insufficiency
What is MOA of calcium carbonate?
Ex. TUMS, OS-Cal
-less soluble and reacts more slowly with HCl to form CO2 and CaCl2
What are ADE of calcium carbonate?
- bleching
- metabolic alkalosis
- excessive doses of either NaHCO3 or calcium carbonate with dairy products can cause hypercalcemia, milk-akali syndrome
T/F calcium carbonate antacid can be taken by pregnant women
TRUE
What is MOA for Mg-hydroxide?
reacts slowly to make MgCl and water
What is MOA for Al-hydroxide?
reacts slowly to make AlCl and water
What are ADE of Al-hydroxide and Mg-hydroxide?
- absorbed Mg salts can cause osmotic diarrhea
- Aluminum salts can cause constipation
Who should avoid taking Al-hydroxide and Mg-hydroxide?
-patients with renal issues due to the fact that Mg and Al are excreted in the kidney
T/F Al-hydroxide and Mg-hydroxide are administered together to balance between diarrhea and constipation
TRUE
What side effects are not caused by Al-hydroxide and Mg-hydroxide?
belching/no gas
metabolic alkalosis
Name 4 drug interactions with antacids?
- Tetracycline
- Fluoroquinilone
- Itraconazole
- Iron
* should not be given within 2 hours of dose with the above meds
What are pharmockinetics of H2 receptor blockers?
- rapidly absorbed by intestine
- first pass hepatic metabolism -cimetidine, ranitidine, and famotidine
Name 4 H2-receptor antagonist? Which is most effective?
- Cimetidine
2 Ranitidine - Famotidine-most effective
- Nizatidine
What is MOA of H2-receptor antagonist?
- block H2 receptor on parietal cells
- suppress meal stimulated acid secretion in a linear, dose dependent manner
- highly selective: don’t bind H1 or H3
- exception: cimetidine binds H1, ranitidine binds H1 as well but not as much as cimetidine
What is MOA of H2-receptor antagonist?continued…
- volume of gastric acid decreased
- pepsin concentration reduced
- in presence of H2-antagonist, gastrin and Ach have diminished effect on acid secretion
