peptic ulcers Flashcards
definition
erosion of the gastric/ duodenal mucosa up to lamina muscularis mucosae
classification of anti ulcer drugs
⦁ Antacids.
drugs suppressing secretion
⦁ Proton pump inhibitors (PPI).
⦁ H2 –histamine receptor blockers.
⦁ Antimuscarinic agents.
Mucosal protective agents.
drugs for the eradication of H.pylori
⦁ Antimicrobial agents for eradication of Helicobacter pylori.
classification of antacids
absorbable antacids
non absorbable
antacids (most common)
combined
⦁ Absorbable antacids
Sodium bicarbonate –pulv (can produce transient metabolic alkalosis; therefore, not recommended for long-term use).
° Calcium carbonate –tab (reacts with HCl to form CO2 and CaCl2; commonly used).
⦁ Non-absorbable antacids
Magnesium hydroxide –pulv.
° Aluminum hydroxide–pulv.
⦁ Combined preparations
Almagel (Muthesa) –susp. 170ml
° Maalox –tab; susp.
° Talcid –tab.
what are antacids
weak bases that react with gastric acid to form water and a salt,
diminishing gastric acidity.
take 1-3 hrs b4 meal and before bed
affect of antacids on pepsin
reduces it’s effect by increasing ph above 4 rendering it inactive
indication for aluminium and magnesium (non abs)
symptomatic relief of peptic ulcer disease and GERD.
why are absorbable antacids rarely used
increased ADR e.g.
kidney stones
altered bone mineralization
alkaline milk syndrome ( nausea vom diarrheoa)
benefits of combined antacids
al- prolonged effect
mg- fast onset
adr’s
⦁ Magnesium hydroxide: Diarrhea.
⦁ Aluminum hydroxide: constipation,
H2 RECEPTOR ANTAGONISTS
act selectively on H2 receptors in the stomach, blood vessels, and other.
competitive antagonists of histamine
fully reversible.
completely inhibit gastric acid secretion induced by histamine or gastrin.
H2 antagonist classification
FIRST GEN
⦁ Cimetedine –tab. 200 mg.
SECOND GEN
⦁ Ranitidine (Zantac) –tab. 150mg; 300mg.
THIRD GEN
⦁ Famotidine (Qamatel) –tab. 20mg; 40mg.
⦁ Nizatidine –tab.
