Q

Adverse effects of antacids:

  1. Na+
  2. Ca++
  3. Carbonates & bicarbonates:
  4. Mg++
  5. Al++
A
  1. Na+: increase in Na in bloos and thus fluid retention, hypertension, CHF
  2. Ca++: hypercalcemia, rebound acid secretion
  3. Carbonates & bicarbonates: will produce CO2 gases which can lead to belging & flatulence
  4. Mg++: osmotic diarrhoea
  5. Al++: constipation

esomeprazole

18
Q

PPIs inhibit ________ in _____ cells

A

PPIs inhibit H+K+-ATPase (proton pumps) in parietal cells

19
Q

PPIs are reversible/irreversible

A

irreversible

20
Q

PPIs are ______ pro-drugs, hence _____ bioavailability; can/cannot absorb well

A

PPIs are inactive pro-drugs, hence good bioavailability; can absorb well

21
Q

PPIs are released and absorbed in _______

A

intestines

22
Q

PPIs are given during :

A

usually 1h before bfast; on empty stomach

23
Q

How many times of PPI is adminstered?

A

Once daily

24
Q
Adverse effects of \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_
headache
nausea
diarrhoea
flatulence
dizziness
rash
constipation
long term: osteoporosis

other concerns (bot not proven): gastric cancer, pneumonia, Fe deficiency, vit. B12 deficiency

A

PPIs

25
Q

Agents that protect gastric mucous

A
  • sulcrafate
  • bismuth compounds
  • misoprostol
26
Q

MOA of sucralfate

A

-vely charged sucrose sulphate binds postitively charged proteins at ulcer crater forming a viscous, tenacious gel that prevents further acid attack

stimulates mucosal prostaglandin & bicarbonate secretion

27
Q

Sucralfate are given during :

A

usually 1h before bfast; on empty stomach

28
Q

Adverse effects of sucralfate

A

constipation

impairs absorption of other drugs

29
Q

Bismuth compounds stimulate ______ & ______ secretion.

They also has direct anti-microbial activity against ________.

A

stimulate mucus &. bicarbonate secretion

against H.pylori

30
Q

Misoprostol is given how many times a day?

A

4 times daily

31
Q

Misoprostol is to prevent _____-induced peptic ulcers

A

NSAID

32
Q

  • low dose:
  • high dose:
A
  • binds to PGE2 receptors
  • low dose: increases mucus & bicarbonate secretion,, enhances mucosal blood flow
  • high dose: decreases acid secretion
33
Q
Adverse effects of \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_
abdominal pain
diarrhoea
abortion (uterine contraction)
bone pain & hyperostosis (excessive bone growth)
A

misoprotol

34
Q

39
Q

Esomeprazole is better suited for pts with ____ than omeprazole.

A

NGT

40
Q

PPIs lower ___________ of antibiotics against H pylori

A
