Pharm Gi Flashcards
Active comonent is 5- aminosalicylic acid . Thought to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis, block neutrophil migration.
Sulfasalazine and active metabolite mesalamine
Dicyclomine
Anti-spasmodic by blocking muscarinic receptors on enteric plexus and smooth muscle.
At high doses it will have anti- chollinergic side effects like dry mouth blurred vision
Not used freq
Side effects and administration of sulfasalazine and mesalamine respectfully
Side effects due to sulfa pyridine component - nausea GI upset arthralgias myalgias bone marrow suppression hypersentivitiy rxn
Mesalalamine can be administered as rectal suppository
Other drugs used
Azathioprine and 6- mercaptopurine - immunosuppressive drugs
Metronidazole
Methotrexate - crohns not uc
Anti TNF drugs
MOA of metronidazole a s tinidazole
The nitro gourd is reduced in anaerobic bacteria and protozoan
The reactive products are responsible for its anti microbial activity
Works against gut anaerobes and is cidal against obligate anaerobes
C. Diff, giardia lamblia, entamoeba histolytica
Metronidazole and tinidazole
Bacteriodes , fusobacterium , trichomonoas
Metronidazole and tinidazole
Moderately active against h. Pylori
Metronidazole and tinidazole
Side effects of metronidazole
Nausea, headache, anorexia,band metallic taste
Drug rxns with metro and tinidazole
Tin has fewer side effects
Abstain from etoh bc of disulfiram rxn - m-24hrs t-72 hr
Inhibit warfarin metabolism potentiating it’s effects
Met class b Tin class c for pregnancy
Salmonella , shigella , E. coli and campylobacter
Tmp/smx and fluoroquinolones
Severe campylobacter
Erythromycin
Amebic infections
Iodoquinol and metronidazole - iod remains in lumen and may cause diarrhea and rash
Ending - tidine
Histamine H2 receptor antagonist
Only h2 receptor antagonist that causes issues
Cimetidine - anti androgenic - causes gynecomastia
And potent p450 inhibitor
Ending - prazole
Proton pump inhibitors - omeprazole and lansoprazole an esomeprazole
Moa of proton pump inhibitors
Acid labile prodrugs administered in enteric coated tablets. The uncharged form enters the cytoplasm of the partial cell. In the acidic caniculus it’s converted to active sulfonamide form. Which forms a covalent disulfide link with cysteinyl residue in the proton pump on luminal side of parietal cell. This depends on the conformational change of the active H/K-ATPase pump. So it’s taken 30-60 min before meals. Irreversible and better than h2 blockers
Use of h2 antagonist
Dyspepsia - give 30 min befor meals
Peptic ulcer disease - at night on empty stomach - relapse need to treat h. Pylori
Gerd and lpr
Use of ppis
Peptic ulcer diseas - more effective ths. H2 blockers
NSAID associated ulcers , gerd, lpr, zollinger- Ellison syndrome
Adverse effects of PPIs
Lack of acidic environment in stomach will lead to poor absorption of some nutrients like calcium. And can increase c. Diff
Drug interactions of PPIs
Metabolized by CYP 450 . Pts with polymorphism in 2c19 will clear them more slowly.
Omeprazole can inhibit met of warfarin, diazepam, phenytoin, and carbamazepine
