Pharmaco ulcer/ antiemetic Flashcards
What is peptic ulcer disease
Inflamed lesions of the mucosa of the upper GIT
Peptic ulcer disease causes
Increased acid secretion
Decreased PG secretion
H pylori infection
Increased pepsin production
Would eradication of h pylori reduce recurrence of ulcers
Yes
What is dyspepsia
Heartburn or indigestion
Epigastric discomfort after meals
Is dyspepsia associated with GERD
Yes
What is GERD
Gastro esophageal reflux disease is backflow of acid chyme from stomach into the esophagus
Symptoms of GERD
Dyspepsia
Dysphasia ( severe case)
Chest pain ( severe case)
Sore throat if gets there
GERD complications
Esophageal ulcers
Esophageal erosions
Narrowing of esophagus
What is zollinger Ellison syndrome
Formation of tumors in the pancreas or the duodenum
Cause increase in gastrin and therefore increase in acid secretion
Acute gastroparesis
Delay in gastric emptying seen after surgery or trauma or infection
Irritable bowel syndrome
Non inflammatory disease with altered bowel movement causing either diarrhea or constipation
Comstipation
Difficult passage of hard and dry stool into the anus
Constipation treatment
Increased fibres in diet ( fruits , vegetables, whole grains )
Vomiting
Physiological Reflex due to presence of irritating substance in GIT or blood
Generally preceded by nausea
Diarrhea
Increased frequency of elimination of stool as well as altered consistency of stools
What is a cause of severe diarrhea
Bacterial infection
What hormones stimulate acid secretion
Gastrin
Acetylcholine
Histamine
What receptors do histamine bind to in GIT
H2 receptors
What are the drugs that inhibit acid secretion
H2 antagonists
Anticholinergic
Proton pump inhibitors
PG analogs
How can you treat acid hypersécrétion
Inhibit acid secretion from parietal cells
Neutralize acidity
Cytoprotective agents
Eradicate h pylori
Antacids action
Neutralize acidity of stomach
Types of antacids
Aluminum hydroxide
Magnesium hydroxide
Carbonates
Aluminum hydroxide reacting with acid in stomach produce …
Water
Insoluble aluminum chloride salt which will be excreted ( increased risk of constipation)
Aluminium hydroxide reduces absorption of …
Tetracyclines
What is the effect of mgcl2 formed by magnesium hydroxide in stomach on the intestine ?
Laxative effect
Products you can combine antacids with
Maalox
Mucogel
Gaviscon
Gastrocote
Types of carbonate antacids
Calcium carbonate ( effective) Sodium bicarbonate ( fast)
Are antacids used as primary treatment for peptic ulcer ?
NO
Just dyspepsia
