Drugs are bad, m'kay.... Flashcards

1
Q

proton pump inhibitors (PPI)

A

oral once a day
IV: GI ulcer bleeding (not FDA approved)
SUPERIOR to H2 blockers
-prazole
irreversible inhibition of H/K ATPase
acid labile: ENTERIC COATING: erratic absorption
taken up by parietal cells and protonated to trap there: short T1/2 but effect lasts longer
metabolized by CYP2C19, 3A4
most effective for basal and food stimulated acid
take BEFORE FOOD
NO tolerance develops
Tx: hyperacidity: GERD, PUD, ulcer bleeding (not approved)
AE: slight increase in enteric infections, possible rebound acid secretion on withdrawal, possible increase risk of fractures
may be CI in Vit. B def. due to reduced absorption

Q

H2 blocker

A

-tidine
competitive antagonists
take before bed: most effective for basal/overnight acid (doesn’t help for mealtime acid)
MODEST inhibition of gastric secretion from parietal cells
TOLERANCE within days
Tx: hyperacidity: GERD (only in mild cases), PUD (no longer recommended since PPI is superior and H. pylori assoc.); basically just for mild intermittent heartburn
