Pharm GI Flashcards
Side effects of H2 receptor blockers
Ranitidine
- Diarrhea
- Headache
- Fatigue
MOA of PPI
Omeprazole
- Prodrug activated by gastric acid environment
- Enters the parietal cells via systemic circulation
- Irreversibly binds to cystines in the
H/K ATPase pump
Prostaglandins MOA
Misoprostal
Regulator of Gastric Acid MOA
- Analogue of PEG2
- Activates the EP3 receptor on parietal cells. This decrease cAMP which inhibits the H/K ATPase pump
Cytoprotective MOA
- Analogue of PGE2 stimulates mucin and HCO3 production
Contraindications for Prostaglandins
Misoprostal
Pregnancy (stimulates uterine contraction)
Side effects of prostaglandins
Misoprostal
- Diarrhea
- Abdominal Cramping
- Uterine Contractions
Cations used as antacids
- Calcium Carbonate
- Aluminum Hydroxide
- Magnesium Hydroxide
MOA of antacids
Binds with H+ to neutralize stomach acid
Side effects of antacids
Mg = Diarrhea
- Mg has an osmotic effect
Ca = Hypercalcemia
- Renal Calculi (Kidney stones)
- Gas from CO2 release
Al = Hypophosphatemia
- Al binds phosphate
MOA of Sucralfate
Coating Agent
- Combination of Sucrose and Aluminum hydroxide
- Forms a paste which buffers acidic proteins in the ulcer (coats)
- Stimulate PG synthesis and endothelial growth factors for repair
Contraindications of Sucralfate coating agents
Use caution with other aluminum containing drugs. Sucralfate is a combination of Sucrose and Aluminum hydroxide
Side effects of Sucralfate coating agents
Constipation
- because of aluminum causing Hypophosphatemia
MOA of Busmuth
Coating Agent - Binds to the ulcer and releases PG - PG releases HCO3 and mucin - inhibits growth and adherence of H pilori
Contraindications for Bismuth coating agents
Reyes Syndrome in kids
ASA administration with viral infection
Side effects of Bismuth coating agents
- Black tarry stools
- Black tongue
- Constipation
- Tinnitus (ASA)
Regulators of Gastric Acid Secretion
- H2 Receptor Antagonists
- PPI’s
- Prostaglandins
- Antacids
Cytoprotective Drugs
- Prostaglandins
- Bismuth coating agents
- Sucralfate coating agents
