Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD) Flashcards
Pepsinogen
Secreted by chief cells, breaks down proteins
Inactive form of pepsin
HCL
Secreted by parietal cells, breaks down food
Activates pepsinogen
Intrinsic factor
Secreted by parietal cells
Vitamin B absorption
Protective factors
Mucus and bicarbonate (basic)
Dyspepsia
Imbalance between aggressive and protective factors in the stomach
GERD
Gastroesophagel Reflux Disease “Heartburn”
Acidic contents of stomach move upward into esophagus when stomach contracts due to decreased lower esophagel sphincter tone
GERD Stages Treatment
1-H2 antagonist and antacids as needed
2-H2 antagonist
3-proton pump inhibitors (ppi)
PUD
Peptic Ulcer Disease
Erosion of the mucosal layer of the GI tract along with acute inflammation
Location/Cause of PUD
Duodenum (most common)
Usually correlated with H pylori infection
H pylori Antibiotics
Clarithromycin
Amoxicillin
metronidazole
tetracycline
Triple therapy (H pylori)
PPI +clarithromycin +amoxicillin/metronidazole/or tetracycline
Quadruple Therapy (H pyloro)
PPI + metronidazole + pepto + tetracycline
H2 Receptor antagonist (-tidine) MOA
Decrease stomach acid through suppressing volume and acidity of parietal cell secretions
*H2 only found in stomach
Available otc for gerd short term
H2 receptor antagonists drugs
Cimetidine(tagamet)
Famotidine(pepcid)
Ranitidine(Zantac)
Cimetidine (tagamet)
*Inhibits p450 enzymes
First drug
Females dec alcohol metabolism
Males inc estradiol, gynecomastia
Famotidine(Pepcid)
Best bc of bioavailability
Longer half life and no p450 inhibit
Ranitidine(zantac)
Prototype drug
Higher potency than cimetidine
PPI MOA *-prazole
Dec acid secretion by irreversibly blocking H+, K+, -ATPase
Can have gastrin rebound/interfere with Ca absorption
Omeprazole(prilosec) PPI
Enters as prodrug, converted into sulfenic acid, and then inhibits proton pump by binding to it covalent and irreversible
Esomeprazloe(nexium)
Other PPI
Sucralfate(carafate) MOA
Neutralize acid and coat the empty stomach with yellow viscous goo
Misoprostol(cytotec) MOA
Inhibits acid secretion and stimulates mucus secretion
Stimulates oxytocin receptor and useful for NSAID users
Is Misoprostol(cytotec) category X
T/F
True
Simethicone (gas-X, Mylanta gas)
Reduce gas bubbles/bloating
Antacids (Ca++, Al3+, Mg 2+) MOA
Alkaline substances that neutralize stomach acid
Otc and usually used in combination
Mg is ______
Cathartic
Al is ____
Constipating
Calcium carbonate (A)
Tums
Calcium carbonate with magnesium hydroxide (A)
Mylanta Supreme, Rolaids
Magnesium hydroxide (A)
Milk of magnesia
Sodium bicarbonate (A)
Alka-seltzer
Aluminum hydroxide (A)
Alterna Gel
Mg OH with Al OH and simethicone (A)
Mylanta
Pepto-Bismol (bismuth salts) MOA
Bismuth inhibits bacterial growth, may prevent bacteria from adhering to stomach wall
