Q

What are examples of first generation antihistamines(h1 blocker)?

A

diphenhydramine and chlorpheniramine
(dimenhydrinate, hydroxyzine, meclizine, promethazine)

used to reduce symptoms of allergy, allergic rhinitis, uticaria

Q

2nd gen example/

A

loratadine, fexofenadine, desloratadine, cetirizine, levocabastine, acrivastine

20
Q

What is gastrin?

A

polypeptide hormone, secreted from mucosa of gastric antrum in response to eating or alkanization of the stomach. Causes gastric secretion of pepsin, HCl, promotes growth of GI mucosa

21
Q

WHat is pepsin?

A

Proteinase of gastric juice- elaborated and secreted by chief cells

22
Q

what is zollinger Ellison syndrome?

A

gastrin secreting tumor!

23
Q

How do we treat ulcerative and inflammatory GI diseases?

A

Neutralize the acid! reduce gastric acid secretion! enhance mucosal defenses through cytoprotective/antimicrobial intervention

24
Q

How do antacids also confer mucosal protection?

A

Stimulate mucosal prostaglandin production

Cytoprotective by binding irritating compounds

25
Q

examples of antacids

A

sodium bicarb, magnesium hydroxide, aluminum hydroxide, calcium carbonate, magnesium trisilicate

26
Q

what are three agonists that control gastric acid secretion?

A

histamine, acetylcholine, gastrin

27
Q

Antihistamines do what?

A

They are h2 antagonists, promote the healing of gastric and duodenal ulcers.

28
Q

examples of antihsitamines

A

cimetidine, famotidine, ranitidine, nazatidine

29
Q

how does omeprazole work?

A

Proton pump inhibitor! irreversibly inhibits the gastric parietal cell proton pump. Activated in acidic environment

30
Q

what is octreotide?

A

somatostatin analog that inhibits gastric secretion

31
Q

How do barrier drugs work

A

forms protective coating on ulcer crater

ex- sucralfate, bismuth subsalicylate

32
Q

What is the drug of choice for ulcers from NSAIDS?

A

Misoprostol!

33
Q

how does metoclopramide effect gastric motility?

A

cholinomimetic activity! dopamine antagon!

stimulates motility of the upper GI tract without increasing gastric, biliary, pancreatic secretions.
increases resting tone of lower esophageal sphincter: accelerates gastricemptying.alsoantiemitic.

34
Q

Metoclopramide side effect?

A

tardive dyskinesia

35
Q

How do we treat heliobacter pylori infection?

A

Two antibiotics (amoxicillin and clarithromycin) and a proton pump inhibitor

36
Q

Three basic steps involved in the process of vomiting?

A
  1. Sensors-excitation of one of the many receptors for the diff types of vomiting
  2. Vomiting center receives stim from chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) on floor of 4th ventricle (dop agonists here)
  3. effector side of response: inc pulse, salivation, dilation. contraction of the pylorusand relaxation of gastric smooth muscle, etc. REFLEX SLOWING of the heart! drop bp,
37
Q

Locally acting emetic?

A

Ipecac- irritant action on stomach wall and on CTZ

38
Q

what is a centrally acting agent?

A

Apomorphine! works primarily on CTZ as dopamine agonist

39
Q

where do most anti emetics work?

A

serotonin 5ht antagonists or neurokinin receptor antagonists at ctz

40
Q

5 ht antag

A

ondansetron

granisetron

41
Q

neurokinin antag

A

aprepitant

42
Q

what are the different classes of laxatives

A
  1. irritants/stimulants
  2. bulking agents- osmotic and fiber
  3. softeners
43
Q

Two categories ofanti diarrheal agents?

A

motility and water absorption

44
Q

How do stool softeners work

A

Lubricate! promote laxation by coating and lubricating fecal matter (ex: mineral oil) prevent normal absorptionofwater

45
Q

What does glycerin do?

A

administered as a rectal suppository. both lubricating and produces local irritation to initiate defecation reflex.

46
Q

Examples of anti-diarrheal motility agents?

A

Opiates! promote sustained contraction of intestine and interrupt normal organized sequence of peristaltic contractions. exposure time of feces in colon increases and greater dessication occurs
ex: loperamide + diphenoxylate/atropine

47
Q

Examples of absorbent anti-diarrheal agents?

A

Bismuth subsalicylate.. kaolin

absorb water and toxins and provide protective coating to inflamed intestine
