Q

PPI

A
  • inhibits H+K+ ATPase
  • reduce gastric acid secretion
  • long acting, take 1x a day
  • prodrug, take 1 hr before eating (take on empty stomach, is weak base)
  • t1/2 = <2hr, hepatic elimination
  • 3-4 days for max effect
  • converted to active form in stomach
  • use: GERD, peptic/duodenal ulcers, prevent NSAID ulcers, prevent stomach bleeding.
    • H. pylori: use PPI with 2 antibiotics

Q

Gastrin

A
  • acts on parietal cells, enterochromaffin-like cells (ECL)
  • parietal cells: stimulates H+K+ ATPase (proton pump) via CCK2 receptor ⇒ gastric acid release
