GI and acid-peptic dz's Flashcards
what are 3 acid-peptic dz’s?
GERD, peptic ulcer (gastric or duodenal), or stress-related mucosal injury
over 90% of peptic ulcers are caused by…
infxn w/ H. pylori and use of NSAIDs
where is the site of damage in H. pylori and NSAID induced ulcers?
H. pylori – duodenum
NSAIDs – stomach
2 classes of drugs used in tx for acid-peptic dz’s?
agents that reduce intragastric acidity and those that promote mucosal defense
what receptors do parietal cells contain?
gastrin (CCK-B)
histamine (H2)
acetylcholine (muscarinic, M3)
what agents reduce intragastric acidity?
Antacids
H2 receptor antagonists (H2 blockers)
Proton Pump inhibitors (PPI)
how do antacids neutralize the acidity in the stomach?
antacids = weak base
they react w/ gastric HCl to form a salt and water
MOA antacids (sodium bicarbonate)
Reacts rapidly with hydrochloric acid (HCL) to produce carbon dioxide and sodium chloride
ADE’s of antacids (sodium bicarbonate)
CO2 gastric distention and bleching, metabolic alkalosis, exacerbate fluid retention
ADE’s antacids (calcium carbonate)
metabolic alkalosis
w/ dairy products –> hypercalcemia, renal insufficiency
ADE’s antacids (Magnesium hydroxide or aluminum hydroxide)
(belching does not occur)
metabolic alkalosis, osmotic diarrhea, constipation
what can be given w/ Magnesium hydroxide or aluminum hydroxide to control bowel function?
Gelusil, Maalox, Mylanta
antacids should not be given within 2 hours of doses of…
Tetracycline
Fluoroquinolone
Itraconazole
Iron
what are some H2 receptor antagonists (h2 blockers)?
Cimetidine (Tagament), ranitidine (Zantac), famotidine (Pepcid), nizatidine (Axid)
what pts need a dose reduction of H2 receptor antagonists?
mod-severe renal insufficiency and elderly
MOA of H2 receptor antagonists?
competitive inhibition at parietal cell H2 receptors
suppress acid secretion
highly selective
Volume of pepsin reduced
reduce acid secretion stimulated by histamine as well as by gastrin and cholinomimetic agents
histamine released from ECL cells by gastrin or vagal stimulation is blocked from binding to the parietal cell H2 receptor
direct stimulation by gastrin or acetylcholine diminished effect on acid secretion
best time to give H2 blockers?
at bedtime
