Q

MOA for H2 blockers

A
  1. competitively block binding of histamine to the H2 receptor (NOT H1****)–>reduces H+ being secreted into stomach
  2. inhibit basal, food stimulated and nocturnal secretion of gastric acid

Q

explain what happens after ACH histamine and gastrin bind to stomach receptors

Q

direct and indirect pathways for H2 rec antags

A

DIRECT: ACH, gastrin and histamine stimulate parietal cell–trigger release of H+ into stomach lumen

INDIRECT: ACH and gastrin also stimulate enterochromaffin-like cells (ECL)–>result in secretion of histamine–>then histmaine also acts on parietal cell

32
Q

explain chemical composiiton of the PPIs

A
  • prodrugs

* have enteric coating that is acid-resistant so they are not degraded in the gastric acid

33
Q

when is the enteric coating of the PPIs degraded? aka where are they absorbed

A

in the duodenum aka an alkaline environment

*absorbed and transported to the parietal cell

34
Q

what do the active forms of PPI bind to after being asborbed?

A

bind to the H+/K+ ATPase enzyme IRREVERSIBLY–stops the acid production for about 18 hours until new enzyme is resynthesized

35
Q

how long does the effects of PPI generally last for?

A

18 hours—then new ATPase enzyme is synthesized

36

Q

best to give PPIs with full or empty stomach

fasting state

39
Q

most effective route of admin for PPIs

PO

40
Q

when to administer PPI

A

30 to 60 mis before breakfast or largest meal of the day

41
Q

why do PPIs have a long duration of action?

A

beause of the COVALENT irreversible binding to the H+/K+ ATPase enzyme

42
Q

Metabolism for PPIs

*drug-drug interactions: which ones?

P450 enzyme

  • Clopidogrel effectiveness decrease if administerd with Omeprazole and Esomeprazole

fractures

44
Q

  • affects Ca2+ and B12 and magnesium absorption
  • hypomagnesia
  • incr risk of pneumonia
  • HA
  • nausea
45
Q

Esomeprazole has a plasma half-life of a few hours yet suppresses acid secretion for 24 to 48 hours. The reason for this paradox is____?

A

acid suppression continues unitl new H+/K+ ATPase molecules are synthesized

46
Q

antacids

*describe chemical composition

A

weak bases

47
Q

what happens when antacids react with gastric acid

A

form water and salt–>diminishes gastric acidity

48
Q

list the antacids

A

Aluminum hydroxide
Mag hydroxide
Ca Carbonate (tums)
Mag Trisilicate

49
Q

at what ph is pepsin deactivated

A

pH > 4

50
Q

what is pepsin

A

proteolytic enzyme

51
Q

MOA of antacids

A

They are weak bases**

  • react with gastric acid to form salt and water
  • since they raise pH, they also inactivate pepsin
52
Q

take antacids on full or empty stomach

A

FULL aka take antacids AFTER meal

  • delayed gastric emptying with a full stomach
  • so allows more time for the antacids to work–>prolong the duration of action
53
Q

why is sodium bicarbonate not recommended as an antacid?

A

because it produces transient metabolic alkalosis–>producing a high sodium load

54
Q

therapeutic uses for antacids

*what are they not used for?

A
  • symptomatic relief of PUD (but not to treat PUD)
  • heartburn
  • GERD

NOT USED: tx of PUD

A

constipation

56
Q

SE of magneisum hydroxide

A

diarrhea

57
Q

which antacid causes:

  1. diarrhea
  2. constipation
A
  1. mag hydroxide

2. aluminum hydroxide

58
Q

which antacids are combined in OTC preparations and WHY

A

Aluminum and mag hydroxide beause their SE of costipation and diarrhea cancel eachother out

59
Q

antacids + renal impaired patients can lead to?

A

accumulation of Mg, Al, Ca (cations)

–>milk Alkali Syndrome

60
Q

lab findings for milk alkali syndrome

A

hypercalcemia
alkalosis
renal injury

61

  • indications and contras
  • SE
A
