PPI Pk (6)
Highly protein bound F decreased by 50 pc bc of food Rapidly absorbed Acid-labile All are inactive prodrugs that require activation in an acid environment Rapid first pass Rebal clearance
PPI MOA
Inhibit fasting and meal-stimulated acid secretion
PPI CLINICAL USES

PPI ADVERSE FX
Nausea Abdominal pain Constipation Diarrhea Skin rashes No teratogenicity
Nutritional fx of ppi
Affect absorption of vit b12 and fe ca zinc esp in prolonged use
Respi and enteric infections of ppi
Increase in gastric bacterial concentration-> increase risk for HAP CAP and clostridium difficile

[PUD]
Agents that promote mucosal protection
Sucralfate
Prostaglandin analogs
Colloidal Bismuth Conpounds
MOA SUCRALFATE
Polymerization and selective binding to necrotic ulcer tissue to act as a barrier against pepsin gastrin and bile for up to six hrs after a single doe
AE OF SUCRALFATE
Nausea and constipation
Colloidal Bismuth Compounds MOA
Selectively binds to ulcer coating it and protecting it from gastin and pepsin
Other: inhibit pepsjn activity, stimulate mucus production and increase prostaglandin secretion
