Class: Calcium carbonate (Rolaids, Tums)
Antacid
Class: Sodium bicarbonate
Antacid
Rarely used due to causing systemic alkalosis
Class: Magnesium hydroxide, magnesium carbonate (Maalox, Mylanta)
Antacid
Class: Aluminum hydroxide (Alternagel)
Antacid
Use: Calcium carbonate (Rolaids, Tums)
Ulcer tx, GERD
Use: Sodium bicarbonate
Ulcer tx, GERD
Rarely used due to causing systemic alkalosis
Use: Magnesium hydroxide, magnesium carbonate (Maalox, Mylanta)
Ulcer tx, GERD
Use: Aluminum hydroxide (Alternagel)
Ulcer tx, GERD
Side Effects: Calcium carbonate (Rolaids, Tums)
Milk-alkali syndrome, nephrocalcinosis,
“rebound” acidity,
digitalis antagonism,
constipation
Side Effects: Sodium bicarbonate
Systemic alkalosis;
Enhanced effects of amphetamine, quinidine, and cinchophen
Rarely used due to causing systemic alkalosis
Side effects: Magnesium hydroxide, magnesium carbonate (Maalox, Mylanta)
Diarrhea;
Hypokalemia,
hypermagnesemia,
iron deficiency
Magnesium toxicity mostly in presence of renal disease; liquid-based, so act fast
Side effects: Aluminum hydroxide (Alternagel)
Phosphate depletion and sequelae (weakness, anemia, tetany, apnea);
Constipation
What antacid is safe for use in patients with renal failure?
Aluminum hydroxide
also eliminates phosphate
What antacid should not be used in patients that have renal failure?
Magnesium hydroxide, magnesium carbonate (Maalox, Mylanta)
Class: Cimetidine
Histamine (H2) receptor blocker
Class: Famotidine
Histamine (H2) receptor blocker
Class: Ranitidine
Histamine (H2) receptor blocker
Class: Nizatidine
Histamine (H2) receptor blocker
MOA: Histamine (H2) receptor blockers - Cimiidine, Ranitidine, Famotidine, Nizatidine
Inhibits 50-80% of 24 hour acid production
Use: Histamine (H2) receptor blockers - Cimiidine, Ranitidine, Famotidine, Nizatidine
Ulcer treatment (satisfy all 4 requirements); prophylactically for stress ulcers; GERD
Side Effects: Ulcer treatment (satisfy all 4 requirements); prophylactically for stress ulcers; GERD
Rebound acidity if stopped;
Uncommon; headache, lethargy, confusion, depression, and hallucination
Class: Omeprazole
H/K/ATPase inhibitor
Class: Lansoprazole
H/K/ATPase inhibitor
Class: Rabeprazole
H/K/ATPase inhibitor
Class: Pantoprazole
H/K/ATPase inhibitor
Class: Esomeprazole
H/K/ATPase inhibitor
MOA: H/K/ATPase inhibitors:
Omeprazole, Lansoprazole, Rabeprazole, Pantoprazole, Esomeprazole
Inhibit >90% of 24 hour acid secretion (better than H2 antagonists);
requires acid environment to activate, selectively diffuse to acidic environments (don’t take with antacids)
**noncompetitive inhibitors
Uses: Omeprazole and Lansorazole
Ulcer treatment,
treatment for H. pylori;
GERD
Uses: Rabeprazole, Pantoprazole, Esomeprazole
Ulcer treatment; GERD
Side Effects: H/K/ATPase inhibitors:
Omeprazole, Lansoprazole, Rabeprazole, Pantoprazole, Esomeprazole
Headache, gynecomastia, gastric hyperplasia in humans and carcinoid tumors in rats long term (do not use long-term)
What is Dexlansoprazole?
A rapid-formulation of slow release Lansoprazole
What is the only H/K ATPase inhibitor available for IV administration?
Pantoprazole
T/F: H/K ATPase inhibitors will heal H2 antagonist refractory ulcers.
True
Also, better pain relief and faster healing rates than with H2 antagonists.
What H/K ATPase inhibitor has no P450 interaction?
Pantoprazole
What is the only drug that is FDA approved for the prevention of NSAID-induced gastric ulcers?
Misoprostol
H2 antagonists and sucralfate are ineffective if NSAID
therapy is being continued.
Class: Misoprostol
Prostaglandin E analog
MOA: Misoprostol
Decrease acid production, increase mucous and bicarbonate secretion
Use: Misoprostol
Ulcer treatment when prostaglandin production decreased (RA patients taking lots of NSAIDs)
What antacid should not be used in pregnancy?
Misoprostol
Side effects: Misoprostol
Transient diarrhea
What is the therapy for H. Pylori infection?
Quadruple therapy:
A PPI twice a day
Tetracycline HCl 500 mg 4 times a day
Bismuth subsalicylate or subcitrate 4 times a day Metronidazole 500 mg 3 times a day
Class: Atropine sulfate
Anticholinergics
