GI Flashcards
AE of antacids
decreases oral absorption of tetracyclines with milk (Ca), antacids (Ca/Mg) or iron containing meds (via chleation)
increaes oral absorption of weak bases (quinidine)
decreases oral absorption of weak acids (warfarin)
enhancement of gastric acid secretion
1) histamine
2) acetylcholine
3) gastrin
MgOH AE
produces Mg salt - poor absorption –> diarrhea
AlOH AE
reacts with HCL –> AlCl = insoluble and causes constipation and hypophosphatemia
CaCO3 AE
hypercalcemia
nephrolithiasis
constipation –> fecal compaction
Reversible H2 blockers
1) cimetidine
2) ranitidine
3) famotidine
3) nizatidine
cimetidine = shortest acting, and least potent
H2 blocker use in ICU pt
prophylaxis for acute stress ulcers
H2 AE
nausea, HA, dizzy
cimetidine: anti-androgenic effects - newer H2’s don’t do this and don’t inhibit CYP450
Cimetidine AE
1) gynecomastia
2) inc prolactin
3) dec libido
4) confusion in elderly
crosses BBB and placenta
cimetidine+ranitidine = dec renal excretion of creatinine
Cimetidine contraindicated with
CYP 450 inhib - AE with warfarin, procainamide, phenytoin, benzo, theophylline, imipramine, quinidine
Omeprazole contraindicated with
warfarin, clopidogrel, phenytoin, diazepam, cyclosporine
- omeprazole inhibits their metabolism
PPI AE
inc in respiratory and GI infection
dec Mg serum levels – hip fractures
prolonged use with H2 blockers = dec avail of B12, digoxin, and ketoconzaole
1st lines for h pylori
macrolides: clarithromycin
B-lactam: amoxicillin
antiprotozoals: metronidazole
broad spec: tetracycline
clarithromycin MOA
bacteriostatic
binds 23S rRNA of 50s = prevents translocation
clarithromycin uses
h pylori atypical PNA CAPNA pertussis corneybacteria
clarithromycin AE
binds motilin receptors - GI upset: n/v
prolonged QT = arrhythmias
hepatitis
eosinophilia
affect oral anticoagulants via CYP450 inhibition
**resistance: methylation of 23s binding site - no binding of drug
Amoxicillin MOA
bactericidal - bind transpeptidase = prevent cross linking of PTGN - autolytic enzymes activated
amoxicilin use
h pylori
G+ and some G(-)’s
amoxicilin AE
rash, hypersensitivity, pseuomembranous colitis
resisitance = b-lactamase cleaves b-lactam ring
metronidazole MOA
bactericidal
inhib. electron transport system - toxic metabolites that damage DNA
metronidazole use
h pylori
c diff
bacteroides
antiprotozoal
metronidazole AE
flushing
tachycardia
low BP with alcohol (like disulfiram)
metallic taste
tetracycline MOA
binds 30s and prevents aminoacyl-tRNA attachment
tetracycline AE
GI upset, discolored teeth, inhibited bone growth in kids, photosensitivity
resistance: reduced uptake/inc efflux out of bacterial cells by plasmid encoded transp pumps
metoclopramide MOA
5HT3 and D2 blocker = anti-emetic
5HT4 agonist - muscarinic activity = prokinetic
metoclopramide use
diabetic, post op gastroparesis, relief GERD sxs
prokinetics (4)
1) metoclopramide
2) 5HT4 agonists
3) cholinomimetics
4) macrolides
metoclopramide AE
anti-dopaminergic: sedation, diarrhea, parkinsonian
possib inc prolactin = infertility
cisapride MOA
5HT4
cisapride use
gastroparesis, GERD, constipation via Ach stimulation
- not a first line b/c of AE
cisapride AE
arrhythmias
Cholinomimetics types
1) neostimgine - colonic pseudoobstruction
2) bethanechol - resistance to cholesterase: long duration for post op bladder/bowel atony
erythromycin MOA
acts on motilin receptors
erythromycin use
gastric emptying before endoscopic procedures
- if used for extended period, develops tolerance
anti-emetic agents
1) 5HT3 inhib
2) H1 antihistamine and anti-muscarinic
3) NK1 blocker
4) corticosteroids
5) D2 blocker
6) metoclopramide
7) cannabinoids
Ondansetron MOA
5HT3 blocker
Ondansetron AE
QT prolongation/arrhtyhmias
H1 antihistamines MOA
block peripheral and CNS H1
block alpha and muscarinic
HI antihistamine uses
hay fever, angioedema, motion sickness
NK1 drugs
1) arepitant = PO
2) fosaprepitant = IV
NK1 use
decreasing early and delayed emesis in cancer chemo
glucocorticoid agonists AE
adrenal suppression growth inhibition muscle wasting osteoporosis salt retention glucose intolerance behavior changes
