Q

how do histamine blockers work?

A
  1. competitive inhibition of H2 receptors (highly selective)
  2. partial decrease in gastrin induced secretion of HCl
  3. partial block of muscarinic induced HCl secretion

Q

what are the adverse effects specific to cimetidine?

A
  1. CNS
  2. endocrine
  3. inhibition of hepatic CYP metabolism
17
Q

what is the preferred route for H2 blocker use?

A

need to be absorbed in GI tract

18
Q

where do the PPIs become activated?

A

low pH apical surface of parietal cell

19
Q

what is the mechanism of action for PPIs?

A
  1. drug is absorbed
  2. uptake on basolateral side of parietal cell
  3. concentrates in low pH environment
  4. activation
  5. irreversible binding to pump
20
Q

what are the PPIs drugs?

A
  1. omeprazole (Prilosec)
  2. lansoprazole (Prevacid)
  3. rabeprazole (Aciphex)
  4. esomeprazole (Nexium)
  5. pantoprazole (Protonix)
21
Q

how does sulcralfate work?

A
  1. adheres to ulcer to create physical barrier

2. stimulates mucus secretion (possibly via PGs)

22
Q

what is the main clinical use for misoprostol? what is a major adverse effect?

A
  1. NSAID ulcers

2. uterine contractions in pregnant women

23
Q

what drug should be considered for a hospitalized patient in whom you want to prevent stress related bleeding and acid secretion?

A

sucralfate

24
Q

what is the first line of defense for H. pylori and gastric ulcers?

A
  1. PPI
  2. clarithromycin
  3. amoxicillin or metronidazole
