Midterm 1 Flashcards
Name the 3 types of acid controlling drugs
antacids, h2 receptors, proton pump inhibitors
What do antacids do?
Buffer/neutralize HCL by preventing histamine from binding to parietal cells
What are the types of antacids?
aluminum, magnesium, calcium, sodium bicarb, combo
What do H2 receptor antagonists do?
increases stomach ph, urinary ph, and competitively blocks histamine receptors on parietal cells
what do proton pump inhibitors do?
irreversibly bind to hydrogen, potassium, ATPase which blocks all gastric secretion
What are the types of laxatives?
bulk forming, emollient, saline, hyperosmotic, stimulant
What do bulk forming laxatives do?
add bulk and water to the bowel which distends the bowel and causes movement
What do emollient laxatives do?
stool softener and lubricates the bowel
What do hyperosmotic laxatives do?
increase water content leading to distended bowel and then bowel movement
What are saline laxatives?
Increase osmotic pressure, and bring in water distending the bowel and causing movement
What are stimulant laxatives?
increase peristalsis by intestinal nerve stimulation
What are the 3 antidiarrheal drugs?
adsorbents, antimotility, and probiotics
What do adsorbents do?
Coat walls of GI, bind to cause of diarrhea then eliminates it through stool (pepto)
What are antimotility drugs?
slows peristalsis, dries stool, decrease gastric secretion, reduce pain.
What are the 2 forms of antimotility drugs?
anticholinergics or opioids
What are probiotics?
giving good bacteria to reestablish intestinal flora
What are the 6 antiemetic/ antinausea drugs?
anticholinergics, antihistamines, anti-dopaminergic, prokinetic, serotonin blocking, and tetrahydrocannabinol
How do anticholinergics work?
prevent acetylcholine from reaching receptors in the ear
How do antihistamines work?
block histamine which then blocks acetylcholine from reaching receptors
How do anti-dopaminergics work?
blocks dopamine receptors in CTZ, calms the CNS
How do prokinetic drugs work?
blocks dopamine receptors, promotes gastric emptying
How do serotonin blocking drugs work?
block serotonin in CTZ and vomiting center
