Q

duodenal ulcers

Q

etiology PUD

A

Generally caused by NSAIDs or Helicobacter pylori infection. Therefore, H. Pylori is regarded as the major infectious cause of PUD.

Q

antacids MOA

A
  • Are weak bases that chemically neutralize acid. By raising acid pH.
  • They prevent the transformation of pepsinogen to pepsin. (Goal to raise gastric pH >4).

Q

cancer causing agent found in?

A

Ranitidine was pulled out from circulation because the drug/or a metabolite is associated with increased levels of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) a cancer causing agent.

Q

Adverse effects and drug interactions of H2 antagonists

A

infrequent and mild.

may alter the bioavailability of rate of absorption of certain drugs secondary to changes in gastric pH (example aspirin).

Q

cimetidine

A

Inhibits the activity of cytochrome p450 and thus slows the metabolism of many drugs

Thus if drugs interactions are to be avoided, choose an H2 blocker other than cimetidine

Q

proton pump inhibitors specificity

A
  • selective distribution of H+/K+/ATPase are in parietal cells
  • requirement for acidic pH for drug activation (i.e. they need to be ionized)
  • trapping of the drug at its site of action

Q

PPIs are _____ effective than __________ in relieving symptoms of PUD in healing ulcers.

A

more; H2 blockers

22
Q

PPIs are _____ effective than __________ in relieving symptoms of GERN and in healing erosive esophagitis.

A

more; H2 blockers

23
Q

does tolerance develop with PPIs?

24
Q

clinical uses of PPI

A

Zollinger-Ellison syndrome and refractory gastric, esophageal and duodenal

25
clinical uses of PPI
Zollinger-Ellison syndrome and refractory gastric, esophageal and duodenal
26
what PPI inhibit acid secretion and effectively orally?
omeprazole and esomeprazole
27
what PPI is less effective in severe esophagitis?
lansoprazole
28
what PPI is metabolized to a much lower extent by the cytochrome P450 system?
rabeprazole (aciphex)
29
what can occur after chronic use of PPIs and H2 blockers?
decreased absorption of vitamin B12 and → deficiency
30
what are moderate inhibitors of CYP2C19?
omeprazole and esomprazole
31
what drug is converted to its active metabolite by CYP2C19?
clopidogrel (Plavix) - therefore inhibition of CYP2C19 may interfere with its activation
32
bismuth subslicylate is also called
pepto bismol
33
bismuth subslicylate MOA
* **enhances secretion** of mucus and HCO3- * **inhibits** pepsin activity * chelates with proteins at the base of the ulcer crater and forms a protective barrier against acid and pepsin * **inhibits** H. pylori
34
side effect of bismuth subslicylate
turns the tongue and stool black and can cause tinnitus
35
sucralfate
forms sticky, viscous gel that adheres to gastric epithelial cells protecting them from acid and pepsin
36
what drug is the only one it its class to require an acid pH?
sucralfate given 1 hour before meals and at bedtime to promote gastric healing
37
what drug is provided to bedridden patients?
sucralfate
38
misoprostol has what intolerable side effect?
diarrhea
39
misoprostol is used for what patients?
primarily used for patients who must NSAIDs also for ABORTION!
40
clairthromycin MOA
macrolide that inhibits protein synthesis in microbes
41
amoxicillin MOA
effective against gram negative bacilli contraindicated in patients allergic to penicillin
42
tetracycline MOA
second line drug must stagger its dose when it is given in conjunction with Bismuth
43
metronidazole MOA
synthetic ABO against obligate anaerobes
44
furazolidine MOA
nitrofuran antibacterial and antiprotozoal
45
if resistance to clarithromycin is suspected, replace it with \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_
metronidazole
46
if both clarithromycin and metronidazole resistance is suspected, what drugs is substituted?
furazolidone or rifabutin
47
what drug is highly active against H. pylori with little resistance?
Rifabutin
48
metoclopramide MOA
dopamine 2 receptor blocker as well as 5HT4-R agonist, which increases local release of acetyl choline
49
domperidone MOA
dopamine 2 receptor blocker only
50
pharm actions of prokinetic
* stimulates GI smooth muscle * increases amplitude of esophageal contractions * accelerates gastric emptying * increases LES pressure enhance the main anti-reflex mechanism and accelerate gastric emptying
51
prokinetic side effects
* tardive dyskinesia related to central dopaminergic antagonism * prescribed for a short time
52
antisecretory drugs
no effect on LES (lower esophageal pressure), esophageal peristalsis, or gastric emptying because they work increase gastric pH
