Gi Flashcards
Gaviscon
Alginate and antacid, buffers stomach acid and increases stomach content viscosity and reduces reflux
S/E antacids and alginates
Mg causes D and Aluminium causes constipation
Lansoprazole and omeprazole
PPI- irreversibly inhibit H/K ATPase in parietal cells. Final stage so significant reduction in acid secretion
S/E PPI
Mask symptoms of gastro oesophageal cancer. Fracture risk. Also O is a CYP inhibitor
Ranitidine
H2 receptor antagonist so less proton pump activation. Only partial
S/E H2 antagonist
Mask symptoms of cancer. Renal impairment. Not to use with antivirals as reduce exposure. ? carcinogenic contaminant
Mesalazine and used to treat
Aminosalicylate- release of 5 aminosalicylic acid.Treat ulcerative colitis
S/E aminosalicylate
Gi upset
What drugs are of concern when prescribing PPI
Phenytoin, warfarin and clopidogrel as CYP issues
Why do PPI give greater protection that H2 antag
Bind to end of pathway.
Agents that work of vestibular nucleus
Muscarinic receptor antagonist and H1 receptor antagonists
Hyoscine hydrobromide
Muscarinic receptor antagonist- block muscarinic ACh receptors in CTZ and vestibular nucleus
S/E muscarinic antagonist
Sedation, memory issues, glaucoma, constipation
Cyclizine
H1 receptor antagonist- good for motion sickness. Not for kids and old as confusion
Agents that work on visceral afferents in gut
5HT3 receptor antagonist and D2 receptor antagonist
