GI Drugs and Conditions Flashcards
Cimetidine
“tidines” H2 blockers on parietal cells.
Reversible blockers, need to take every 12 hours.
Contraindicated in preggers and breast feeding
Cimetidine (only, not other H2’s) blocks P450–LOTS OF DRUG INTERACTIONS and antiandrogenic effects. Can cross BBB.
Omeprazole
-prazoles. Inhibit H/K ATPase of parietal cells.
Take every 24 hours. ** Prodrugs–require protonation for activation.**
Increased risk of C. Dif infection (decreased instestinal pH), pneumonia.
Increased Hip fractures from less Mg2+ with chronic use.
H. Pylori Treatments (2)
Triple Therapy:
1) PPI, 2) Amoxicillin 3) Clarithromycin or Metronidazole (“P.A.C.”)
Quadruple therapy (now recommended):
1) PPI, 2) Amox, 3) Clarithromycin, 4) Metronidazole (“P.A.C.M.”)
Antacids (what antibiotic can you not take in combo with)
All cause hypokalemia. Can be combine with alginic (alginate) acid: reacts with esophageal bases to foam=good for GERD
Alu-minum Hydroxide (“minimum amount of feces”): Constipatino, and hypophsophatemia, prox muscle weakeness and seizures
Calcium Carb: hypercalcemia, chelates other drugs: eg TETRACYCLINE
Mg Hydroxide: Diarrhea (Mg: must go to the bathroom), hyporeflexia, hypotension, cardiac arrest.
Sucralfate/Bismuth
Binds to ulcer base: physical barrier and allows bicarb to reestablish pH gradient.
Sucralfate: Requires acidic conditions (thus don’t take with PPI/H2s/Antacids). Good for DUODENAL ulcers
Bismuth subsalicylate (pepto bismol): T**URN STOOL BLACK. **Binds ulcers, direct antimicrobial activity against H. pylori and binds enterotoxins (CAN be combined wih tetracycline or metranidazole to increase H pylori killing)
Misoprostol
PGE1 analog used to _prevent NSAID induced ulcers***_
Mucosal protective (stimulated mucosal prolif and bicarb production), also has antacid properties
Dose dependent diarrhea.
NOT FOR PREGGERS
Metoclopramide
DA antagonist; Prokinetic agent (DM, post surg, illeus)
Antiemetic, Raises LES tone=Tx for GERD, accelerates GI emptying
SEs: Extrapyramidal symptoms (Parkinsonian Tremor, Tardive dyskinesia), anxiety, depression, drowsiness.
“MeTO makes you GO” prokinetic agent
Lubiprostone
PGE1: Used for Chronic Idiopathic Constipation
Turns on type 2 chloride channels causing fluid secretion
“Lubs the colon with salt solution; PG=prostone=pushes
Laxativies:
Bulk Forming
Stool softeners
Osmotic
Stimulant
Bulk Forming: Fiber, psyllium, methylcellulose
Stool softeners: Allows for water and lipids to get into feces
Osmotic: MgOH (milk of mag), sorbitol, lactulose (removes ammonia in liver disease via NH4+ fecal excretion), PEG.
—Osmotics for colon prep (rapid evac): MgCitrate with NaPO4
Stimulant: of enteric nerves—Bisacodyl (Dulcolax), aloe vera, senna (ex-lax), cascara sagrade
Antidiarrheals (2)
Lotamil=Atropine+Diphenoxylate (opiate agonist): addicition possible (given with atropine to prevent addicts from using it as injection). Need Rx
Loperamide (immodium): inhibits ACh release via opiod recetpor; NO potential for addiction/tolerance; doesn’t cross BBB
Sulfasalazine (what does this help prevent and mechanism?)
Sulfapyridiine (antibacterial) and 5-aminosalicylic acid (anti-inflammatory).
Activated by colonic bacteria. Tx for UC and CD.
Helps prevent cancer: Aspirin inhibits COX which is part of the adenoma-carincoma sequence (APC–>Kras–>P53 + Cox=Colon Cancer)
Tox: Malaise, nausea, sulfonamide allergy, reversible oligospermia
Budesonide
Controlled release oral glucocorticoid
Can give prednisone or prednisolone instead.
Antimetabolites for UC/CD
Azathioprine or 6-mercaptopurine (“azathioPURINE because its a 6mp precursor”)
Methotrexate (leucorvorin can rescue….)
Anti-tumor necrosis factors
Infliximab, Adalimumab, certolizumab—all anti-TNF alphas
SEs: opportunistic infections from suppresion of helper t-cell response (anti-TNF secreted by Macros to turn on T-cells)
CHECK FOR TB (PPD) before intiation as TNFalpha (along with IFN-G) to fight/prevent recurrence of Tb
Anti-integrin
Natalizumab (anti-alpha 4 integrin)
preventing leukocyte extravastion
Ses: reactivation of latent human polyoma virus
Tx: for CD and MS
Ondansetron
“setrons” 5-ht3 antagonist.
“won’t throw up drinking too much citrone”
“Don’t get sick at party, keep ON DANcing with ondansetron”
Decreases vagal stim. powerful centrally acting antiemetic.
Used for postop vomiting and in patients undergoing cancer chemo
SEs: headache/constipation
Best combo is with corticosteroid or NK1 receptor antagonist
Aprepitant
Fosaprepitant
“prepitants” used as antiemetics
Aprepitant (oral): “ape-ite”
Fosaprepitant (IV)
Diphenhydramine
H1 blockers: Benadryl. Anti-emetics
Others: Dimenhydrinate, Meclizine
Octreotide
Somatostatin analog
Used for Acromegaly, ACUTE VARICEAL BLEEDS, VIPoma, and carcinoid tumors
Causes of Acute Pancreatitis
GET SMASHED
Gallstones, Ethanol, Trauma
Steroids, Mumps, Autoimmune, Scorpion Stings, Hypercalcemia/HyperTRIglyceridemia, ERCP, Drugs
(hypertriglyceridemia, NOT hypercholesterolemia)
Sofosbuvir
Nucleotide Analog for HCV
Telaprevir, Bocceprevir, Simeprevir

Ribose Nucleoside Analog for HCV
“ribavirin removes RNA”
Treatment for HBV?
HBV histologically vs HCV?
Interferons and Nucleoside Analogs:
(Adefovir, dipivoxil, entecavir, lamivudine, telbiviudine,)
(Tenoavir, disoproxil fumarate)
HBV=ballooning degeneration and hyperproduction of HBsAG

Japenese man with blood type A most likley to develop?
Intestinal type Gastric carcinoma:
Risk Factos: Blood Type A, and Smoked foods (high in nitrosamines)

- Diarrhea, Met Acidosis, HypoK
- Necrolytic Migratory Erythema (Rash in groin)
- Gallbladder issues (cuz Somatostatin knocks down CCK)
Rupture of ulcer in antrum of stomach causing severe bleeding…what artery?
In the proximal duodenum? What else can be damaged here leading to?
Tumor in the third portion of the duodenum most likely vessel to invade?
LEFT GASTRIC
Gastroduodenal; can rupture into pancreas causing pancreatitis
SMA
During appendectomy what is most likley to get knicked due to its close proximity?
Right Ureter is very close to cecum

Below: Squamous Cell Carcinoma and External Hemorrhoids
APC vs HNPCC
HNPCC: Mismatch repair predisposing for Colorectal, ovarian and endometrial cancer
APC: controls WNT protein which regulates cell proliferation. ACP also controls processes that regulate cell attachment to tissue and if it move into/away from tissue
Conjugated bilirubinemia with polymers of epinephrine metabolites in liver?
Dubin Johnson Syndrome
Dark black liver is though to be due to these polymers of epinphrine in hepatocytes.
Prolonged Hypotension at risk for what GI condition (2, but prolly more)
1) Mesenteric ischemia particularly at splenic flexure
2) Inflamated and enlarged gallbladder (stasis, and ischmia causes necrosis and inflammation)

NO, don’t get this wrong again.
