GI Flashcards
H2 blockers includ
cimetidine, ranitidine, famotidine, nizatidine
Take H2 blockers before you dine. Think table for 2 to remeber H2
Mechanism of H2 blockers:
reversible block of histamine H2 receptors: decraease H+ secretion by pareital cells
Use of h2 blockers
peptic ulcer, gastritis, mild esophageal reflux
H2 blocker that is potent inhibiotr of cytochrome p450
cimetidine
SE of of cimetiddine
antiandrrogenic effects (prolactin release, gynecomastia, impotence), decrease libido in males; cross BBB (confusion, dizziness, headaches) and placenta
These two h2 blockers decrease renal excretion of creatinine
cimetidine and ranitidine
Proton pump inhibitors
omeprazole, lansoprazole, esomeprazole, pantoprazole, dexlansoprazole
mechanism of PPI
irrevsrisbily inhibits H+/K+ ATPase in stomach parietal cells
Use of PPI
peptic ucler, esophageal reflux, ZES syndrome, component tof therapy for H. pylori, stress ulcer prophylaxis
SE of PPI
Increase risk of C. difficile infection, pneumonia,
Decrease serum Mg+ w long term use
increase risk of osteoporotic fractures
Antacid use
aluminum hydroxide, calcium carbonate (tums), magnesium hydroxide
can affect absorption, bioavailability, or urinary excretion of other drugs by altering gastric and urinary pH or by delaying gastric emptying
Antacid use
all antacid use can cause
hypokalemia
constipation and hypophsophatemia; proximal muscle weakness, osteodystrophy, seizures
aluminum hydroxide
aluMINIMUM amout of feces
hypercalcemia (milk-alkali syndrome), rebound acid increase
calcium carbonate
diarrhea, hyporeflexia, hypotension, cardiac arrest
Magensium hydroxide
Mg2+ = must go to the bathroom
bismuth, sucralfate mechanism
bind to ulcer base, providing physical protection and allowing HCO3- secretion to reestablish pH gradient in mucous layer.
require acidic environemnt
bismuth; sucralfate;
usually not given with PPIs/H2 blockers
use of bismuth sucralfate
increase ulcer healing
travelers’ diarrhea
misoprostol mechanism
PGE1 analog;
Increase production and secretion of gastric mucous barrier
Decrease acid production
use of misoprostol
prevention of NSAID induced peptic ulcers (NSAIDS block PGE1 producftion
also used off label for induction of labor (ripens cervix)
misoprostol SE
diarrhea, Contraindicated in women of childbearing potential (abortifacient)
Octreotide mechanism
long acting somatostatin analog; inhibits secretion of various splanchnic vasodilatory hormones
use of octreotide
acute variceal bleeds, acromegaly, VIPoma, carcinoid tumors
also decrease gut motility, blood flow, and endocrine/exocrine pancreatic function (decrease of secretion of pancreatic enzymes into intestine and therefore could aggravate pt’s malabsorptive diarrhea)
