med list 2 Flashcards
famotidine (pepcid) class
Histamine H2 Receptor Antagonists
famotidine (pepcid) MOA
Inhibit the action of histamine at the histamine-sensitive H2 receptor sites of the parietal cells in the stomach
ranitidine (zantac) class
Histamine H2 Receptor Antagonists
ranitidine (zantac) MOA
Inhibit the action of histamine at the histamine-sensitive H2 receptor sites of the parietal cells in the stomach
pantoprazole (protonix) class
Proton pump inhibitor
pantoprazole (protonix) MOA
suppress gastric acid secretion by inhibiting H+/K+ ATP pumps.
sulcrafate (carafate) class
GI protectant
sulcrafate (carafate) MOA
combines with protein at the site of the ulcer to form an adherent complex that covers the ulcer and protects it from acid.
antacids
decrease gastric acidity by neutralizing secreted gastric acid.
antacids examples
Magnesium, Aluminum, Calcium
Aluminum hydroxide gel (Amphogel, Alternagel)
Calcium carbonate (TUMS)
Dihydroxy-aluminum sodium carbonate (Rolaids)
Magaldrate (Riopan)
Magnesium hydroxide (Milk of magnesia)
Magnesium/Aluminum combos (Maalox/Mylanta)
Sodium bicarbonate (Baking soda, Soda mint)
promethazine (phenergen) class
antiemetic-phenothiazines
promethazine (phenergen) MOA
Inhibit the CTZ (vomiting center in the brain).
prochlorperazine (compazine) class
antiemetic
PHENOTHIAZINE
prochlorperazine (compazine) MOA
Inhibit the CTZ (vomiting center in the brain).
ondansetron (zofran) class
antiemetic
5-HT3 RECEPTOR BLOCKER
ondansetron (zofran) MOA
Block receptors in the CTZ
Mainly used for prevention/treatment of nausea vomiting with chemotherapy
metoclopramide (reglan) class
antiemetic
metoclopramide (reglan) MOA
Increases GI motility
For surgery, trauma, dysfunction, ileus (part of the bowel where there is no motility/peristalsis)
psyllium (metamucil) class
bulk forming laxative
psyllium (metamucil) MOA
Combines with water in the intestinal contents to form an emollient gel or viscous solution that promotes peristalsis and reduces transit time.
docusate (colace) class
Surfactant/Emollient (stool softeners)
docusate (colace) MOA
Promotes incorporation of water into stool, resulting in softer fecal mass.
May also promote electrolyte and water secretion into the colon.
magnesium hydroxide (milk of magnesia) class
antacid
magnesium hydroxide (milk of magnesia) MOA
decrease gastric acidity by neutralizing secreted gastric acid
lactulose (cephulac) class
hyperosmotic laxative
