Pharmacology: GI agents Flashcards
Cimetidine
H2 blocker, reversible
Decreases H+ secretion
Inhibits P450! Anti-androgen effects (gynecomastia)! Decr renal excr of Cr (along with ranitidine)
Ranitidine
H2 blocker, reversible
Decreases H+ secretion
Decr renal excr of Cr (along with cimetidine)
Famotidine
H2 blocker, reversible
Decreases H+ secretion
Nizatidine
H2 blocker, reversible
Decreases H+ secretion
Omeprazole
PPI
Irreversibly inhibits H+/K+ ATPase
Lansoprazole
PPI
Irreversibly inhibits H+/K+ ATPase
Bismuth
Binds to acid base, provides physical protection, allowing HCO3- secretion to reestablish pH gradient in mucosal layer
Sucralfate
Binds to acid base, provides physical protection, allowing HCO3- secretion to reestablish pH gradient
Misoprostol
PGE1 analog
Increases production and secretion of gastric mucosal barrier, decreases acid production
- Prevent NSAID ulcers, maintain PDA OPEN, induces labor
Octreotide
Long-acting SST analog
Tx: Acute variceal bleeds, acromegaly, VIPoma, carcinoid tumors
Atropine
Anti-muscarinic
Bethanechol
Cholinomimetic muscarinic agonist
Increases gastric acid secretion
Tx: ileus, urinary retention
Aluminum hydroxide
Antacid
SE: hypoK, constipation, hypophosphatemia, proximal muscle weakness, osteodystrophy, seizures
Magnesium hyroxide
Antacid, osmotic laxative
Provides osmotic load to draw water out
SEs: hypoK, diarrhea, hyporeflexia, hypotension, cardiac arrest
Calcium carbonate
Antacid
SE: hypoK, hyperCa
