17
Q

What Somatostatin Analogue do you need to know?

A

Octreotide

18
Q

What is the MOA of Octreotide?

A

Dec. fluid secretion. Low dose increases motility and high dose decreases motility.

19
Q

What is the therapeutic use for Octreotide?

A

Off label use of severe diarrhea due to Dumping syndrome, short bowel syndrome, Vagotomy and AIDs

20
Q

What side effects are associated with Octreotide?

A

Impaired pancreatic secretion (dec. fat absorption which leads to VitaADEK defeiciency). Decreased GI motility (dose dependent - nausea, pain, flatulence), Decreased Gallbladder contractility (gallstones - 50 percent and acute cholecystitis (rare)), Insulin/glucagon imbalance, hypothyroidism and bradycardia.

21
Q

What should you know about the synthetic somatostatin analogue (Octreotide)?

A

Longer half life (SS 1-5 hrs, Oct 6-12 hours)

22
Q

What is the MOA of Bismuth Subsalicylate?

A

Salicylate decreases PG and Cl- secretion in large intestine. Antimicrobial, binds enterotoxin.

23
Q

What is the therapeutic use of Bismuth Subsalicylate?

A

Prevention/treatment of Traveler’s diarrhea. Opiates are a better choice once diarrhea has started.

24
Q

What are the side effects of Bismuth Subsalicylate?

A

Black stool, Black tongue, High dose - salicylate toxicity like tinnitus, acid/base disturbances, etc.

25
Q

What six drugs are osmotic cathartics?

A

Lactulose, Magnesium, Hydroxide, Sodium phosphate, Polyethylene glycol, Electrolyte solution

26
Q

What is the MOA for Osmotic Cathartics?

A

Not absorbed which increases H2O in lumen by osmosis.

27
Q

What is the therapeutic use of Osmotic Cathartics?

A

Constipation - especially when enteric NS is disrupted.

28
Q

What are the side effects of Lactulose?

A

Dec. plasma [Ammonia] which leads to portal systemic encephalopathy. Its metabolized by microbiome which leads to severe cramps.

29
Q

What are the side effects of Osmotic Cathartics?

A

Most are safe in most patients.

30
Q

What are the side effects of Mg(OH)2?

A

Hypermagnesium in patient with kidney failure.

31
Q

What can happen if Osmotic laxatives are absorbed systemically?

A

All can cause intravascular volume depletion and electrolyte imbalance (inc. PO4, dec. Ca2+, inc. Na, dec. K)

32
Q

What are the Bile Acid Binding Resins?

A

Cholestyramine, Colestipol

33
Q

What is the MOA for Bile Acid Binding Resins?

A

BABR bind unabsorbed bile acides and dec. H2O secretion.

34
Q

What is the therapeutic use for BABRs?

A

Dec. reabsorption of bile sales which leads to secretory diarrhea in Crohn’s disease and resection of terminal ileum.

35
Q

What are the side effects of BABRs?

A

Frequent “untoward” GI effects like bloating, gas, constipation, fecal impaction. Impaired absorption of other drugs and ADEK.
