Antacids and anti-ulcer Flashcards
indication for antacids
short-term, temporary relief of mild pain and symptoms associated with PUD/GERD
categories of antacids
low-systemic agents (aluminum, calcium, magnesium)
high systemic agents (sodium)
supplemental agents (simethicone)
low systemic antacids
aluminum
calcium
magnesium
high systemic antacids
sodium bicarbonate
MoA of antacids
combine chemically with hydrogen ions resulting in the generation of by-products - water, CO2, Cl
at higher doses of antacids, what happens to LES tone?
increases
T/F - antacids reduce acid secretion and production
no, dont reduce secretion or production
rapid onset antacids include
calcium and magnesium
slow onset antacids include
aluminum and sodium
S(low) A(ntacids)
long lasting antacids include
calcium and magnesium
best acid neutralizing capacity
calcium
surfactant that decreases surface tension and aids in the expulsion of gas
simethicone
aluminum adverse effects
constipation
hypophosphatemia ***
rare –> renal osteodystrophy, encephalopathy
magnesium adverse effects
diarrhea (stool-softening/laxative like activity)
hypermagnesemia
calcium adverse effects
contipation
hypercalcemia (milk-alkali syndrome resutling in nephrop)
hypophosphatemia (effective treatment for hyeprphosphatemia)
calcium based kidney stones
sodium adverse effects
gas/flatulence
hypernatremia
metabolic alkalosis
when prescribing antacids, what important information about TIMING should you educate them on
patients should take all antacids 1-2 hours BEFORE other medications or 2-4 hours AFTER
AVOID ANTACID AND MEDICATION CO-ADMINISTRATION
anti-ulcer drug families
h2 receptor antagonists (-tidine) PPI (-prazole) surface acting agent (sucralfate) PGE1 analog (misoprostol) bismuth compounds (bismuth subsalicylate)
nizatidine is unique of all the h2 blockers because
PO only
all others are IV/PO
MoA of H2 blockers
REVERSIBLY inhibit h2 recpetors on baso-lateral membrane of parietal cell
30min-2 hour onset (longer than antacids, shorter than PPIs)
ulcer healing occursin 4-8 weeks
inhibit 20-50% of acid production
H2 adverse effects
gi - nausea/diarrhea/constipatino
cns - headache
RARE - CEMETIDINE DECREASES TESTOSTERONE BINDING TO ANDROGEN RECPETOR – GYNECOMASTIA IN MEN AND GALACTORRHEA IN WOMEN
blood dyscrasias such as neutropenia and thrombocytopenia
H2 drug interactions
primarily with cemetidine
CEMETIDINE INHIBITS CYP450 AND INTERACTS WITH A SHIT TON OF DRUGS
Ranitidine ~10% CYP450 inhibition and other in the family have no inhibition
