Gastrointestinal drugs Flashcards
defensive factors
mucus, bicarbonate, prostaglandin, blood flow, restitution and regeneration
principal mechanism of action is reduction of intragastric acidity
antacids
After a meal approximately ____ of hydrochloric acid is secreted
45 mEq/h
Enumerate the variables that determine acid-neutralization capacity
rate of dissolution, rate of water solubility, rate of gastric emptying and rate of reaction with acid
Reacts rapidly with HCL to produce carbon dioxide and sodium chloride
Sodium bicarbonate
Formation of carbon dioxide results in what symptoms?
gastric distention and belching
unreacted alkali is readily absorbed potentially causing _______
metabolic alkalosis
Sodium chloride absorption may exacerbate fluid retention in what conditions?
hypertension, renal insufficiency and heart failure
less soluble and reacts more slowly than sodium bicarbonate with HCL ?
calcium carbonate
Excessive doses of either sodium bicarbonate or calcium carbonate witn calcium containing dairy products can lead to what syndrome?
Milk- alkali syndrome (hypercalcemia, metabolic alkalosis, renal insufficiency)
unabsorbed magnesium salts may cause ______
osmotic diarrhea
aluminum salts may cause ____
constipation
It is not given within 2 hours of doses of tetracycline, itracinazole, fluconazole, iron
Antacids
Give four example of H2 antagonists
Cimetidine, ranitidine, famotidine, nizatidine
undergo first-pass hepatic metabolism resulting in bioavailability of approximately 50%
cimetidine, ranitidine, famotidine
type of GI drug that are cleared by a combination of hepatic metabolism, glomerular filtration, and renal tubular secretion
H2 receptor antagonists
Exhibit competitive inhibition at the parietal cell H2 receptor and suppress basal and meal -stimulated acid secretion
H2 antagonists
inhibit nocturnal acid secretion
H2 antagonists
H2 antagonist, inhibit ______% of total 24 hour acid secretion
60-70%
Duration of H2 antagonists acid inhibition?
less than 6 hours
What consist the acid peptic diseases?
GERD, peptic ulcer(gastric, duodenal), stress related mucosal injury
