GI RX-GERD, PUD, Constipation Flashcards
What are atypical sx w/ GERD?
Erosion of teeth enamel. 1. Less burn bc Barret esophagus 2. Haliosis
What RX inc GERD?
Anticholinergics, Benoz, Estrogen, Dopamine, Alendronate-bisphosphonate, Iron
Pregnant women have GERD bc?
pressure, slowed emptying, Transit is 4x faster
If NSAIDs is the problem with GERD what is TX?
H2 blocker, PPI, DEC Dose
These agents neutralize/buffer stomach HCL to form what?
Antacid form salt and H2O 1. Inc LES pressure 2. Inc PH
What are the Antacids?
Al, Mg, NaHCO(baking soda, alka seltzer
What antacid is combined with alginic acid, forms a viscous solution that floats on surface, create a barrier for the LES reflux?
Gaviscon
What is side effects of ADE?
- Gassy d/t CO2 production-TX simethicone 2. Gi upset, alkalosis, 3. Nephrolithiasis 4 TSH low bone marrow suppression-Al+
Why should Pt avoid taking antacids w/ PPI dosing?
- Avoid oral med 1-2hr of other RX 2. Reduce bioavailability of H2 blockers 3. INC pH-enteric coated drugs may be release early, goal is to get to duodenal to get absorbed, IF PH HIGH in stomach will not get absorbed in ideal location 4. INC urine PH
What agents competitively and selectively inhibit histamine form the ECL cells, which DEC signaling parietal cells to make HCL?
H2 blocker- Ranitidine and Famotidine
What are benefits for H2 blocker?
Rare ADE- safe 2. CNS mental confusion, dizzy w/ High does on elderly in ICU
Which H2RA has hihg DI w/ CYPs?
Cimetidine Tagamet- avoid all drugs warfarin, quinidine, SSRI
Which H2RA has less DIs?
Ranitidine- hepatotoxicity rare
What should be avoided with H2RA?
Antacid and PPI
What agent irreversibly bind to H/K-atpase enzyme that transports HCL across parietal cell, inhibit H+, thus INC PH?
Proton pump inhibitors- block 90% of 24 hr gastric acid secretion. ONLY drug to maintain pH>4 post prandial
WHat agents protect itself from acid of pH by enteric coating?
omeprazole/Prilosec, lansoprazole/Prevacid- coated granules. AVOID antacids or alkaline juices bc may break enteric coat. IDEAL Monotherapy and with a MEAL- bc only works when proton pumps engaged to work
What is best agent for nighttime GERD?
PPI-prazoles
What are ADEs of PPIs?
- CNS-ha dizzy 2. Lungs- PNA, 2- CVD MI , B12 deficiency 3. C. diff 4. Osteoporosi
