Drugs to treat PUD Flashcards
Stomach wall cells secrete ______ to produce protective layer coating the surface of cells.
They also recruit _______ to _______
Stomach wall cells secrete mucus to produce protective layer coating the surface of cells.
They also recruit bicarbonate to buffer acidity
Prostaglandins promote:
1.
2.
3.
- Mucus secretion
- Bicarbonate secretion
- Blood flow
Can taking NSAIDs increase risk of damage to stomach?
yes
Parietal cells release
H+
Histamine activation of h2 receptors activates ______ to release H+
proton pumps
Agents that reduce gastric acidity/ neutralise acids
- antacids
- H2 receptor antagonists
- PPIs
Antacids: they do NOT ___________, rather they ________
they do NOT prevent gastric acid production, rather they reduce gastric acidity
Rank most potent to least potent antacid
- Most: Sodium bicarbonate
Calcium carbonate
Mg OH
Al OH
Liquid antacid or tablet is btr?
Liquid. Due to rate of dissolution
Some antacid preps contain _______ as an anti-foaming agent (ease release of gas)
simethicone
Adverse effects of antacids:
- Na+
- Ca++
- Carbonates & bicarbonates:
- Mg++
- Al++
- Na+: increase in Na in bloos and thus fluid retention, hypertension, CHF
- Ca++: hypercalcemia, rebound acid secretion
- Carbonates & bicarbonates: will produce CO2 gases which can lead to belging & flatulence
- Mg++: osmotic diarrhoea
- Al++: constipation
MOA of H2-receptor antagonists
- competitive inhibitors of H2 receptors on parietal cells
- suppresses acid secretion by parietal cells
Efficacy of H2-receptor antagonists
Effective at:
Not effective at:
Effective at: inhibiting nocturnal acid secretion (due to histamine)
Not effective at: blocking secretion associated with meals
Rank most potent to least potent H2 receptor antagonist
Famotidine
Ranitidine
Cimetidine
Adverse effects of ___________
headache
nausea
dry mouth
rare: tachycardia blood dyscrasia blurred vision musculoskeletal pain
famotidine & ranitidine
Adverse effects of \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ headache nausea diarrhoea constipation fatigue mental confusion in critically ill pts men: gynaecomastia, impotence women: galactorrhea
