what combo of drugs is the triple therapy for treating H pylori infection
PPI + metronidazole or amoxicillin + clarithromycin
what combo of drugs is the quadruple therapy for treating H pylori infection
bismuth subsalicylate + metronidazole + tetracycline + PPI
these drugs competitively block the binding of histamine -> reduces gastric acid secretion
H2 receptor blockers
what are some therapeutic uses for H2 receptor blockers
peptic ulcers, acute stress ulcers, and GERD
AE of these drugs are minor : HA, dizziness, diarrhea, and muscular pain. May decrease absorption of drugs that depend on acidic medium for gastric absorption
H2 receptor antagonists
these drugs bind to the proton pump and prevent secretion of hydrogen ions
proton pump inhibitors ( “prazoles”)
these drugs are first line therapy for any heartburn or GI probs; they are used for stress ulcer tx and prophylaxis, tx of erosive esophagitis, tx of active duodenal ulcer, long term tx of hypersecretory conditions, and treatment of GERD
proton pump inhibitors
AE of these drugs includes possible increased risk of fractures , interference with warfarin metabolism, nausea, diarrhea, HA, and GI disturbance ; CI with H2 antagonists
PPI
this molecules is produced by gastric mucosa and inhibits secretion of HCL
prostaglandin E
this drug is approved for Tx of ulcer caused by NSAIDs; CI in pregnancy
misoprostol
these drugs are weak bases; they react with gastric acid to form water and salt ; reduce pepsin activity ; used mainly for Tx of peptic ulcer disease and GERD
antacids
What are the AE of Al Hydroxide? Mg Hydroxide? and Na Bicarbonate?
Al Hydroxide causes constipation; Mg hydroxide causes diarrhea, and Na bicarbonate causes systemic alkalosis
these drugs work by preventing mucosal injury, reducing inflammation, and helping to heal existing ulcers
mucosal protective agents
this specific drug forms a complex gel with epithelial cells -> impaired diffusion of HCl; stimulates prostaglandin secretion ; CI with PPI, H2 antagonists or antacids
Sucralfate
this drug has antimicrobial actions; it inhibits pepsin activity, increases mucous secretion, and coats and protects the ulcer crater
Bismuth Subsalicylate
where are the two brainstem sites that trigger vomiting
chemoreceptor trigger zone in area postrema outside the blood brain barrier and the vomiting center in the lateral reticular formation of the medulla
which two drugs are great for motion sickness
scopolamine and H1 receptor antagonists
these drugs block Da receptors ; effective against low emetogenic agents; SE = hypotension, restlessness, and extrapyramidal symptoms
phenothiazines ( antiemetic drugs) ie. prochlorperazine
these drugs are effective against all agents; SE = HA and ECG changes
serotonin receptor blockers ( antiemetic drugs)
this specific drug is a substituted benzamide; it blocks DA receptors; SE= sedation, diarrhea, extrapyramidal symptoms
metoclopramide
this substituted benzamide blocks DA receptors ; can prolong QT interval ; ie haloperidol and droperidol
butyrophenones
these drugs have low antiemetic potency; great for anticipatory vomiting
benzodiazepines ( antiemetic drugs)
these drugs are used more in combination ; mechanism may involve blockade of prostaglandins
corticosteroids ( ie. Dexamethasone and methylprednisolone )
these drugs target the neurokinin receptor in the brain ; usually combined with dexamethasone and palonosetron ; SE= constipation and fatigue
substance P/neurokinin-1 receptor blocker
these drugs have opioid like actions on the gut ; they inhibit Ach release and decrease peristalsis
antimotility agents ( antidiarrheal) ie. diphenoxylate and loperamide
these drugs act by adsorbing intestinal toxins and/or by coating the intestinal mucosa ;
adsorbents ( antidiarrheals) ie. Al hydroxide and methycellulose
this drug is involved with modification of fluid and electrolyte transport ; decreases fluid secretion
bismuth subsalicylate
this major class of drugs is used to accelerate the movement of food through the GI tract
laxatives
this specific drug is a stimulant laxative; causes evacuation of bowels and water/electrolye secretion
senna
this specific drug stimulates the colon; can cause cramping ; laxative
bisacodyl
this specific drug is a laxative; it irritates the stomach and initiates peristalsis ; CI in pregnant women - stimulates contractions
castor oil
these drugs form gels in the large intestines-> cause water retention and intestinal distention ( hydrophilic colloids ie fruits )
bulk laxatives
these laxatives are nonabsorbable salts or electrolytes; they hold water in the intestine by osmosis
saline and osmotic laxatives
these laxatives take longer to become effective and are used more for prevention
stool softeners ( laxatives)- emollients and surfactants
these laxatives are examples like mineral oil and suppositories
lubricant laxatives
these laxatives activate Cl channels -> increases fluid secretion in the intestinal lumen ; SE = nausea
Cl channel activators
Can you call in hydrocodone for a Rx?
NO!!! Its a schedule II drug and those cannot be called in
