16
Q

What is a risk of IV bolus use with Tagament?

A

hypotension and arrhythmias

17
Q

What are the pharmacodynamics of Cimetidine?

A
  1. Reduces gastric acid production by blocking histamine at H2 receptor site of parietal cells
  2. Reduction of H+ concentration & volume of gastric acid
18
Q

What are the A/e of Tagament?

A

Antiandrogenic effects
CNS effects
- crosses BBB

19
Q

What pt population should use caution with Tagament?

A

Elderly- Tagamet can cause confusion

20
Q

What drugs interact with Cimetidine?

A

Inhibits Hepatic drug metabolism: reduce dose of Tagament with the following:

  • Warfarin
  • Phenytoin (Dilantin)
  • theophylline
  • lidocaine
  • *Administer at least 1 hour apart
21
Q

Which 3 drugs are Antisecretory H2RAs?

A

Cimetidine (Tagamet)
Ranitidine (Zantac)
Famotidine (Pepcid)

22
Q

Ranitidine (Zantac) is more potent than Tagamet. What are the difference with A/e between the two drugs?

A

Ranitidine has fewer A/e:

  • no antiandrogenic effect
  • does not cross the BBB

Also fewer drug interactions:

  • weak inhibitor of hepatic drug metabolizing enzymes
  • ***Antacids can decrease absorption of Zantac
23
Q

What are the therapeutic uses for Ranitidine AND Famotidine (Pepcid)?

A

Gastric AND duodenal ulcers
GERD,
Zollinger-Ellison
Dyspepsia

24
Q

What are the A/e of Ranitidine use compared to Tagament and Zantac?

A

Ranitidine does NOT cause antiandrogenic effects like Tagamet
Does NOT inhibit hepatic drug metabolizing enzymes
Difference: DOES increase risk for pneumonia due to increase in pH.

25
