Drugs that affect Water Balance Flashcards
What are five classes of drugs that affect Chloride secretion?
CIC-2, GC-C, CFTR inhibitors, Somatostatin analogues, Bismuth Subsalicylate
What CIC-2 drug do you need to know?
Lubiprostone
What is the MOA for Lubiprostone?
Activates CIC2 which increases Cl secretion.
What is the therapeutic use for Lubiprostone?
Chronic constipation, Constipation - IBS
What are side effects of Lubiprostone?
Diarrhea, Nausea, HA, Increased fetal loss making it a Class C drug
What about Lubiprostone’s absorption?
Poorly absorbed so almost no systemic effects.
What GC-C drug do you need to know?
Linaclotide
What is the MOA for Linaclotide?
Activates guanylyl cyclase C which increases cGMP and activates CFTR and increases Cl- secretion which increases water in lumen.
What is the therapeutic use for Linaclotide?
Chronic constipation, Constipation-IBS
What are the side effects of Linaclotide?
Diarrhea, Increased maternal death which makes it a Class C drug, Inc. mortality in juvenile mice.
Who should you NOT give Linaclotide to?
DO NOT give to kids.
What about Linaclotide’s absorption?
Very little systemic absorption.
What CFTR inhibitor do you need to know?
Crofelemer
What is the MOA for Crofelemer?
Voltage dependent inhibition of CFTR and another Cl- channel which leads to decreased Cl- secretion and decreased Na+/H2O excretion and firm stools
What is the therapeutic use for Crofelemer?
Diarrhea due to HIV drug treatment.
