Q

What is the mechanism of action of proton pump inhibitor

A
  1. It is absorbed into the small intestine and into the blood.
  2. Then it diffuses into the parietal cells and into the Caniculi of the cell.
  3. It is converted to sulfenamide . Sulfenamide binds covalenyb with SH group of the proton pump and irreversibly inactivates it

Q

What is the mechanism of action of H2 blockers

A

Competitively block H2 receptor on parietal cells and inhibit gastric acid production. They also reduce secretion stimulated by acetylcholine, gastrin, food, etc.

Q

Which H2 blocker also has an anti-adrenergic effect

A

Cemetidine

17
Q

What are the drug interactions of cemetidine

A

It is an enzyme inhibitor and increases the plasma concentration of many drugs such as phenytoin, digoxin, Theophylline, warfarin, propranolol etc.

18
Q

What are the adverse effects of cemetidine 

A
  1. Increases plasma prolactin levels
  2. menstrual irregularities
  3. galactorrhoea
  4. gynaecomastia
  5. oligospermia
  6. impotence in men
19
Q

What are the uses of H2 antagonist

A
  1. Peptic ulcer disease
    a)H pylori associated ulcers
    b)stress ulcers
    c)NSAID induced ulcers
  2. Zollinger Ellison syndrome
  3. gastro-oesophageal reflux disease GERD
  4. preoperatively to reduce risk of aspiration pneumonia
20
Q

Name the mechanism of action of prostaglandin Analogues

A

Inhibit gastric acid secretion and increased mucus and bicarbonates secretion. They also increase mucosal blood flow. 

21
Q

What are the uses of prostaglandin analogues 

A

Prevention and treatment of NSAIDs induced gastric duodenal ulcers

22
Q

What is the mechanism of action of ulcer protective sucralfate

A

It is a complex of aluminum hydroxide and sulphate sucrose.
1. In acidic pH sucralfate undergoes polymerization and forms of sticky polymer the adheres to the ulcer base and protects it.
2. Also precipitates proteins at the ulcer base ulcer base and forms a barrier against acid pepsin.
3. Stimulates release of PGs and epidermal growth factor thus producing cytoprotective effect.
4. Increases mucus and bicarbonate secretion

23
Q

Sucralfate decreases the absorption of which drugs

A

digoxin, tetracyclines, ketoconazole, fluoroquinolones, etc 

24
Q

What are the adverse effects sucralfate

A
  1. Aluminum toxicity in patients with renal failure
  2. constipation
25
Q

What are the uses of sucralfate

A
  1. Peptic ulcer
  2. prevention of bleeding from stress ulcers
  3. reduce risk of aspiration pneumonia
  4. GERD with oesophagitis
  5. others such as mucositis, radiation proctitis, rectal ulcer, burns, bedsores, etc.
26
Q

What are the side effects of busmuth containing preparation

A

Blackening of the tongue and stool

27
Q

What is the mechanism of Antacids

A

Weak base is the neutralize gastric acid and raise a gastric pH. Do not affect acid production but neutralizes pH

28
Q

What are the properties of an ideal antacid

A
  1. Insoluble and capableof neutralizing acid
  2. Not liberate CO2
  3. non-absorbable
  4. should not disturb the acid base balance of the body
29
Q

What are the disadvantages of sodium bicarbonate

A
  1. Releases CO2 that causes abdominal distension and belching
  2. highly water soluble
  3. causes metabolic acidosis
  4. produces rebound acidity
30
Q

Sodium bicarbonate causes sodium attention and thus Should be avoided in which patients

A

Patients with
1. CCF
2. Hypertension

31
Q

Anti-acids increase pH in this form non-observable complexes with many drugs which are what

A

Which drug forms frost on the contents of the stomach and prevents gastro-oesophageal reflux

A

Sodium alginate
