GI Acid Controlling Drugs (antiulcers and antacids) Flashcards
Control of gastric acid secretion
Blocks the Ca2+ dependent and cAMP dependent pathway of the parietal cell in the stomach → Inhibition of H+, K+ ATPase
Pharmological therapy
To inhibit secretion
To provide cytoprotective effects
Stomach secretion
Hydrochloric acid (HCl)
Bicarb, pepsinogen, intrinsic factor, mucus, PGs
Glands of the stomach
Cardiac
Gastric** important, where drugs target
Pyloric
Gastric acid secretion
Secretion of H+ ions by parietals →
Stimulate receptors → Activates H+, K+ ATPase proton pump exchange →
PGE inhibits gastric acid by blocking cAMP production
Gastric acid secretion receptors
Neuronal: ACh (M3)
Endocrine: gastrin (CCK) → ↑ cystolic Ca2+
Paracrine: histamine (H2) → ↑ cAMP
Indirects effects by ACh on gastric secretion
↑ gastrin from G cells and histamine from enterochromaffin cells
Drugs that inhibit acid production
Proton pump inhibitors
Histamine H2 receptor blockers
Anti-cholinergics
PG analogues
Drugs that neutralize gastric acids (antacids)
Systemic: sodium bicarb, sodium citrate
Non systemic: Magnesium hydroxid, etc.
Ulcer protectives
Sucralfate
Colloidal bismuth sulfate
Antacids
Neutralize stomach acid and reduce GI pain → treating ulcers
Raising pH 1 point neutralizes 90% of acid
Different antacids
Al(OH)3, Mg(OH)2, CaCO3 inactivates pepsin and binds bile salts
Adverse effect of antacid:
Constipation
Antacid drug interactions
Interferes with gastric absorption of concurrently administered drugs: digoxin, tetracyclines, fluroroquinolones
H2 Receptor antagonists MOA
↓ gastric acid secretion via reversible competitive inhibition of H2 receptors on gastric parietal cells
