Q

this class interacts with CIMETIDINE to inhibit metab of warfarin, phenytoin, nifedipine, and propranolol. Also messes with ketoconazole, itraconazole, and ferrous sulfate (bc they require acidic environment for absorption)

17
Q

this class eliminates symptoms and heals esophagitis more rapidly than other drugs, and should always be given before meals

A

PPIs

18
Q

this class inhibits the action of H, K, -ATPase

A

PPIs

19
Q

all drugs in this class are considered prodrugs- need the acidic environment to work

A

PPIs

20
Q

this class doesn’t usually cause ADRs, but can cause N/D/C, HA, dizznessiness, somnolence, perhaps a higher incidence of CAP

A

PPIs

21
Q

be cautious giving this class to patients with asthma, COPD, immunocompromise, young, old

A

PPIs

22
Q

which PPIs are metabolized by P450

A

OLEP

reduce metabolism of diazepam, phenytoin, warfarin

23
Q

this class works to reverse LES incompetence, decreased esophageal clearance, and delayed gastric emptying

A

promotility agents

24
Q

CNS effects of this class include drowsiness, irritability, extrapyramidal effects

A

promotility agents

25
Q

this drug is contraindicated in parkinsons, mechanical obs, use of dop ags, anticholinergics, and pheochromocytoma

A

metoclopramide

26
Q

this drug may increase acid production and is not well tolerated due to cholinergic side effects

A

bethanechol

27
Q

this promo agent can cause fatal cardiac dysrhythmia

A

cisapride

28
Q

this class of drug is not recommended for use except in very mild cases of GERD

A

mucosal protectants

29
Q

this drug polymerizes and cross links to form a sticky, yellow-white gel that adheres to atypical epithelial cells in the base of ulcer craters (when pH is below 4-administer before meals)

A

sucralfate

30
Q

this drug is effective at promoting motility in PUD and is more efficacious in duodenal rather than gastric ulcers. Can be used to prevent stress ulcers

A

sucralfate

31
Q

ADRS include constipation, dry mouth, and abdominal discomfort

A

sucralfate

32
Q

this drug should not be administered with agents that decrease acid. Reacts with phenytoin, digoxin, tetracycline, ketoconazole, fluroquinolone

A

sucralfate

33
Q

Is this effective for maintenance of GERD: full dose H2 receptor antagonist once daily?

A

NO. Use reduced dose PPIs (alternate day dosing or weekend therapy)

34
Q

treatment for zollinger-ellison syndrome

A

PPIs, chemo

35
Q

DOC for PUD

A

PPI

36
Q

3 dose regimen for PUD: PAC

A

PPI
Amoxicillin
Clarithromycin

37
Q

3 dose regimen for PUD: PMC

A

PPI
Metronidazole
Clarithromycin

38
Q

4 dose regimen PUD: PBMT

A

PPI
Bismuth subsalicylate
metronidazole
tetracycline

39
Q

this drug is beneficial for treating PUD: cytoprotection through enhanced secretion of mucous and HCO3, inhibit pepsin activity, antibacterial effects, promotes ulcer healing

A

bismuth subsalicylate

40
Q

this is a prostaglandin analogue that helps maintain the integrity of the gastroduodenal mucosal barrier and promotes healing

A

misoprostol

41
Q

this class is indicated for ulcer healing and prophylaxis w NSAID use

A

prostaglandin analogue

42
Q

this class can cause diarrhea or constipation. It is contraindicated in people with hypotension, breastfeeding, or pregnancy

A

prostaglandin analogue
