antacid and ulcer drugs Flashcards
Low systemic antacids
- Aluminum
- Calcium
- Magnesium
High systemic antacids
-sodium salts
the one supplemental antacid agent
simethicone
Do antacids reduce acid production and secretion?
NOOOO
What are the two antacids that have rapid onset and long duration of action and have good acid neutralizing capacity
- calcium
- Magnesium
MOA of simethicone antacid
- surfactant: decreases surface tension
- Aids in expulsion of gas (PRO FART)
Adverse effect of Aluminum antacid
constipation
adverse effect of magnesium antacid

What are the 5 CATEGORIES of anti-ulcer agents
- H2 receptor antagonist
- Proton Pump inhibitor
- Surface Acting Agents
- PGE1 analog
- Bismuth compounds
H2 receptor antagonists have what ending
Tidine
Proton pump inhibitors have what ending
Prazole
If you give enough H2 antagonist, can you completely shut down acid production?
NO, multiple paths lead to acid production
Onset of action with H2 antagonist
.5-2 hours
How long until ulcer healing occurs after H2 antagonist given
4-8 weeks
Adverse effects of H2 antagonist
relatively mild and infrequent . . . GI related or CNS like drowsiness or headache
Adverse effect of Cimetidine with Long term, high dosage
