GI drugs Flashcards
What is the MOA of Bismuth?
Two MOAs:
1) Disrupts cell wall, prevents adhesion, inhibits urease
2) Coats ulcer, stimulates PGE, Mucus and Bicarb release
What are three regimens for PUD treatment?
1) PPI + Amoxacillin followed by Clarithromycin and Tinidazole
2) PPI + Tetracyclin+ metronidazole + ciprofloxacin
3) PPI + Amoxacillin + rifabutin +ciprofloxacin
1st line treatment for GERD?
Lifestyle modification
2nd line treatment for GERD?
H2 blockers
3rd line treatment for GERD?
PPIs, esomeprazone
Name PPIs
Esomeprazole/
Omeprazole, Lansoprazole, Pantoprazole, Rabeprazole
What is the MOA of PPIs? (Esomeprazole/
Omeprazole, Lansoprazole, Pantoprazole, Rabeprazole)
Irreversibly inhibit H/K ATPase
Name common antacids
Aluminum hydroxide, calcium carbonate, magnesium hydroxide, sodium bicarbonate
Name AEs of aluminum hydroxide
Constipation, decreased PO4 absorption (osteomalacia)
Name AEs of Magnesium hydroxide
Osmotic diarrhea
In pts with renal insufficiency –> hypermagnesemia –> cardiotoxicity
Name AE of calcium carbonate
Metabolic alkalosis when systemically absorbed
Hypercalcemia if taken w/ dairy products
Name AEs of sodium bicarbonate
Systemically absorbed: metabolic alkalosis, hypercalcemia
What are AEs of PPI use?
ECL hyperplasia due to decreased negative feedback of gastrin from somatostatin
What are CCK effects on gastric mucosa?
Increased pepsinogen (chief cell), increased somatostatin (D cell)
What are Gastrin effects on Gastric mucosa?
Increased acid secretion (direct) Increased histamine release (ECL cell) Increased pepsinogen (chief cell) Increased growht Decreased somatostatin (D cell)
Name H2 blockers?
Cimetidine, Famotidine, Nizatine, Ranitidine
What is the MOA of H2 blockers? (Cimetidine, Famotidine, Nizatine, Ranitidine)
competitive H2 antagonists that decrease all forms of gastric acid secretion
What do H2 blockers compete with for elimination?
weak bases (i.e. metronidazole)
What are AEs of cimetidine?
Inhbitor of CYP450 Androgenic effects (gynecomastia, galactorrhea)
What is the MOA of misoprostol?
PGE1 analog
Used to treat NSAID-induced ulcers- reverses action of NSAIDs at ulcer
AEs of misoprostol?
Diarrhea and severe nausea
Stimulate uterine contractions (abortafactant)
MOA of sucralfate
sucrose sulfate aluminum hydroxide complex that attaches to the basement membrane of the ulcer
May stimulate mucosal PGE and bicarb secretion
What are the pharmacokinetics of sucralfate?
Requires an acidic environment to be activated
