M6 L4 Drugs for Ulcers Flashcards

1
Q

how are parietal cells stimulated to secrete acid during gastric acid secretion

A
  1. gastrin hormone (acts on G/CCK-B-R)
  2. acetylcholine (acts on M3-R)
  3. histamine (acts on H2-R)

Q

what is gastrin hormone and how is it secreted during gastric acid secretion

A
  • secreted by G cells in response to: intraluminal dietary peptides, Ach through vagal stim
    -passes from blood vessels to submucosal tissue of fundic glands
  • binds to G/CCK-B-R on parietal cells and ECL cells

Q

how is acid secretion turned off

A

increased [H+] + passing of proteins and fats into duodenum -> stim antral D cells to release somatostatin which further gastrin release which inhibits further gastrin release

Q

how do antacids work?

A

by neutralizing the gastric acid

2HCL (ACID) + Mg(OH)2 (ALKALI) -> MgCl2 (NEUTRAL SALT) + H2O

Q

Systemic Antacids

A

ex: NaHCO3 & CaCO3
- releases CO2 and gastric distension
- has absorption into the body
- can cause metabolic alkalosis, hypercalcemia, renal insufficiency
- adverse effects: NaHCO3 (fluid retention), CaCO3 (constipation)
- less safe

Q

Non-systemic Antacids

A

ex: Mg(OH)2 & Al(OH)3
- no effects, no absorption, no release and gastric distension
- adverse effects: Mg salts (diarrhea), Al salts (constipation)
- more safe
- combo of Mg and Al is useful to avoid the side effects!!

17
Q

what are muscarinic receptor antagonists like in real life

A
  • less effective w more adverse effects
  • limited use nowadays
18
Q

H2 blockers half life, metabolization, and excretion

A
  • half life: 1.1-4 hrs
  • metabolized by the liver
  • excreted through the kidney
19
Q

what is the mech of action for H2 blockers

A
  • selectively block H2 receptors on the parietal cells
  • decrease gastric acidity (+/- 70%) mainly at night
20
Q

H2 blocker adverse effects

A

<3% so pretty safe
- diarrhea, headache, fatigue, myalgias, and constipation
- impotence and gynecomastia - cimetidine

21
Q

H2 blocker drug interactions

A
  • cimetidine decrease hepatic microsomal enzymes (cytochrome P450s)
  • decrease other drug metabolism -> increase drug levels and toxic response
22
Q

administration of H2 blockers

A
  • oral (twice daily 0.5 h b4 meals)
  • IV (limited use)
23
Q

H2 blocker drug names

A

…tidine
- cimetidine
- ranitidine
- nizatidine
- famotidine

24
Q

what are proton pump inhibitors

A
  • most potent acid suppressors
  • all contain benzimidazole ring
25
Q

absorption + half life of PPI’s

A
  • thru intestine
  • delayed by food intake
  • inactive prodrugs -> activated in the parietal cells
  • half life: 0.5-2 hrs
26
Q

PPIs mech of action

A
  • irreversible decrease H+/K+-ATPase proton pump
  • prevents acid secretion into gastric lumen
27
Q

PPI’s adverse effects

A

1-5% so pretty safe
- diarrhea, headache, abdominal pain
- low gastric acidity: interfere w vitamin B12 absorption, bacterial colonization

28
Q

administration of PPI’s

A

oral
once a day 1 hr b4 meal

30
Q

PPI drug names

A

…prazole
- omeprazole OTC
- esomeprazole (nexium) OTC
- lansoprazole
- dexlansoprazole
- pantoprazole

31
Q

sucralfate

A
  • made of sucrose + Al(OH)3
  • acts locally in stomach
  • reacts w gastric HCL to protect mucosa
  • minimal absorption (<3%) -> no systemic adverse effects
  • use is limited nowadays
32
Q

sucralfate administration

A
  • oral
  • QID
  • 1 hr b4 meals
33
Q

Misoprostol mech of action

A

PGE1 analog
- increases mucus secretion and HCO3 -> protects gastric mucosa -> decrease NSAID-induced ulcers

34
Q

misoprostol half life + absorption

A

short half life: <0.5 hr
- rapidly absorbed and metabolized

35
Q

administration of misoprostol

38
Q

what can bismuth compunds cause

A

very safe
- can cause harmless black tongue, and black poo

39
Q

what is helicobacter pylori

A
  • gram -‘ve bacilli
  • responsible for >90% of peptic ulcer disease

A
  • quadruple therapy: PPI + tetracycline + metronidazole + bismuth
  • triple therapy: PPI + clarithromycin + amoxicillin (or metronidazole)
    10-14 days for eradication of bacteria
