GI Protectant (Hockerman)
sodium bicarbonate - NaHCO3
systemically absorbed
neutralizing capacity - High
AE - systemic alkalosis, fluid retention, excess CO2 gas
commercially - in alka-seltzer with ASA
calcium carbonate - CaCO3
systemically absorbed
neutralizing capacity - moderate
AE - hypercalcemia, nephrolithiasis, milk-alkali syndrome CO2
commercially - tums and in rolaids with magnesium hydroxide
aluminum hydroxide - Al(OH)3
minimally absorbed
neutralizing capacity - high
AE - constipation, hypophosphatemia, if absorbed encephalopathy
commercially - AlternaGEL, in Maalox/Mylanta with magnesium hydroxide
Magnesium hydroxide - Mg(OH)2
minimally absorbed
neutralizing capacity - high
AE - diarrhea, if absorbed CNS toxicity
commercially - in Maalox/Mylanta with alumnium hydroxide and in Rolaids with calcium carbonate
PPI mechanism
irreversibly inhibit the proton pump to prevent H+ from leaving the parietal and combing with Cl- to form acidic HCl
prodrugs
PPI DRUGS
esomeprazole (nexium)
omeprazole (prilosec)
lansoprazole (prevacid)
rabeprazole (aciphex)
pantoprazole (protonix)
dexlansoprazole (dexilant)
vonoprazan
not a prodrug
potassium-competitive acid blocker (P-CAB)
recently approved in the US
sucralfate mechanism
polymerizes and forms protective barrier at ulcer site
acidic pH activates complex
misoprostol (cytotec) mechanism
reduced acid secretion of the parietal cells
has cytoprotective effects of enhanced mucus and bicarbonate secretion
semi-synthetic PGE1 derivative
used in combo with chronic NSAIDs
BSS mechanism
converted to bismuth salts and salicylic acid in the GI tract with antibacterial, antiviral, and antisecretory activity
rationale for antibiotic treatment of ulcers
many peptic ulcers are associated with infection of gastric mucosa by the gram negative bacili, H Pylori
combination therapy for antibiotic treatment of ulcers
- BSS
- some antibiotic - metronidazole, tetracycline, amoxicillin, clarithromycin
- H2RA or PPI
laxative classes
bulk and osmotic laxatives
stool softeners
secretory/stimulant laxatives
bulk and osmotic laxatives
psyllium (metamucil), methylcellulose (citrucel), calcium polycarbophil (FiberCon), PEG 3350 (Miralax), or Macrogol/Movicol
mechanism - increase water in the intestinal lumen via non-absorable sugars by osmotic force leading to distention and an increase in peristalsis
stool softeners
examples - docusate sodium (colace), mineral oil, glycerin, surfactants, and lubricants
mechanism - incorporate into stool to make passage easier and decrease water absorption; lubricate lower bowel to reduce fecal impaction; can decrease absorption of fat soluble vitamins
