Q

MOA of proton pump inhibitors

A

covalently bind to sulfhydryl groups of H+/K+ ATPase at parietal cell secretory sites –> inhibits gastric acid secretion by irreversibly inhibiting functioning “-ase” pumps
- inhibits 50%-90% acid secretion

22
Q

relative contraindications of PPIs

A

pregnancy

  • pantoprazole can be used
  • lansoprazole only if necessary
  • try to avoid omeprazole
23
Q

MOA of sucralfate

A

undergoes cross-linking from interaction w/ stomach acid –> creates a viscous, sticky polymer which adheres to epithelial cells around the ulcer’s crater –> prevents acid access to ulcer sites

may also:
stimulate local prostaglandin and mucous production and EGF (cytoprotection)

24
Q

does sucralfate affect pH

A

nope

25
Q

indications for sucralfate

A

duodenal ulcers, but also:

  • aphthous ulcers
  • mucositis/stomatitis
  • radiation proctitis/ulcers (enema)
  • bile reflux gastropathy
26
Q

adverse effects sucralfate

A

constipation

27
Q

relative contraindications sucralfate

A

severe renal failure

28
Q

when should patients take sucralfate to avoid drug interactions

A

take 2 hours after other medications

29
Q

normal frequency for taking sucralfate for active ulcers

A

QID

30
Q

MOA misoprostol

A

it’s a prostaglandin E1 analog
- provides protective prostaglandin to the gastric mucosa and reduces gastric acid release from the parietal cells

  • also provides cytoprotection
31
Q

how does misoprostol provide cytoprotection

A

increases mucosal defenses

  • stimulates bicarbonate and mucous production
  • increases mucosa blood flow
32
Q

normal indications for misoprostol

A

prevention of NSAID-induced gastric ulceration in patients at high risk of ulcerations and complications

33
Q

off-label uses for misoprostol

A
  • w/ or w/o mifepristone for pregnancy termination
  • alone for cervical ripening
  • post-partum hemorrhaging
34
Q

adverse effects misoprostol

A
  • diarrhea

- headaches/dizziness

35
Q

contraindications for misoprostol

A
  • pregnancy (unless specifically for common, off label issues)
  • IBD
36
Q

MOA bismuth compounds

A

believed to prevent microbial attachment to mucosa, possible inactivation of enterotoxins, and disruption of bacterial cell wall

37
Q

compare uses of OTC and Rx bismuth compounds

A

OTC: used alone for reflux, indigestion, and diarrhea

Rx: used in combination w/ antibiotics and acid suppressants for H. pylori

38
Q

adverse effects bismuth compounds

A
  • constipation

- black/dark stools

39
Q

when should patients take bismuth compounds to avoid drug interactions

A

2 hours after other meds

40
Q

relative contraindications for bismuth compounds

absolute contraindications for bismuth compounds

A

relative:

  • antiplatelets and anticoags
  • severe renal failure

absolute:

  • GI bleeding
  • salicylate hypersensitivity
41
Q

what is important when treating for H. pylori

A

substitute tetracycline and consider quadruple therapy w/ clarithromycin and amoxicillin

51

how to alter treatment in H. pylori with clarithromycin resistance

A

substitute either amoxicillin or tetracycline and consider bismuth quadruple therapy

52
Q

treatment for pregnant patients with PUD without H. pylori

  • moderate sx: consider ranitidine
  • severe sx: consider lansoprazole
53
Q

compare treatment in patients with PUD if NSAID is required or not required

A

NSAID not required: acetaminophen and discontinue NSAID
