Pharmacology Unit 3 Flashcards
omeprazole
proton pump inhibitor
esomeprazole
proton pump inhibitor
lansoprazole
proton pump inhibitor
cimetidine
H2 receptor antagonist; decrease gastric acid production; 4-5hr duration; high dose decrease testosterone binding and estrdiol hydroxylation causing galactorrhea in women and feminization in men
ranitidine
H2 receptor antagonist; decrease gastric acid production; 6-8 hr duration
famotidine
H2 receptor anatagonist; decrease gastric acid production; 10-12 hr duration
misoprostol
synthetic PGE1 analog; reduce 80-90% of basal or food-indiced acid production; short acting; prevention of NSAID-induced gastric ulcers; adverse: diarrhea, exacerbate IBD, contractions in pregnancy
sucralfate
barrier to protect epithelial cell layer; sucorse + AlOH3; stcks to duodenal ulcers; activated by acid, avoid antaacids or PPIs; Adverse: constipation, block drug absorption
aluminum hydroxide
antacid; slow acting, delays emptying and motility; Adverse: constipation, nausea, phosphate loss, binds tetracycline, rebound acid secretion
magnesium hydroxide
antacid; fast acting; stimulates gastric emptying and motility; avoid in renal disease, rebound acid secretion
Mg-trisilicate
antacid; adverse: avoid in renal disease, silica is absorbed and may cause renal stones, rebound acid secretion
calcium carbonate
antacid
pirenzepine
muscarinic antagonist; decrease gastric acid production; decrease vagal transmission to enteric nerve by blocking ganglionic transmission (M1), decr stimulation of parietal and ECL cells; reduce basal acid production 40-50%; rarely used for significant anticholinergic effects
bethanechol
cholinergic agonist; GI prokinetic agent; selective M2, M3 receptors to produce GI contraction;
Used to help urination post-surgical;
Adverse: cholinergic effects, disrupt natural reflex of oral contraction and anal relaxation
neostigmine methylsulfate
AChE inhibitor; GI prokinetic agent; eccentuate normal ACh release to incr GI motility; used in ileus
metoclopramide
Dopamine receptor antagonist; GI prokinetic agent, incr normal ACh release; incr lower esophageal sphincter tone, used in GERD; also antiemetic and laxative; adverse: antidopamine effects, parkinsonian symptoms, dystonias, tardive dyskenesia in chronic use
tegaserod
5-HT4 partial agonist; GI prokinetic agent; stimulate intrinsic sensory neurons (chemical/mechanical stimulation) increase motility in IBS and chronic constipation/bloating, mildly effective; adverse: fatal cardiac arrhythmia, restricted distribution by FDA; last line therapy
cisapride
5-HT4 partial agonist; GI prokinetic agent; also adenylate cyclase stimulant; used in GERD; adverse: fatal cardiac arrhythmia, restricted distribution by FDA; last line therapy
Erythromycin (macrolide abx)
motilin agonist (stimulate upper small bowel motility produced by EC cells); GI prokinetic agent; cause gastric dumping and emtpying in ileus, scleroderma, and pseudo-obstructions; acute use only
magnesium citrate
osmotic laxative; may stimulate motility through CCK receptors
magnesium hydroxide
osmotic laxative; may stimulate motility through CCK receptors; milk of magnesia
polyethyl glycol
osmotic laxative; alcohol
lactulose
osmotic laxative; used for constipation from opioid and vincristine use; bacterial fermentation can drop pH and trap NH4 in colon of patients with hepatic disease
mannitol
osmotic laxative; used for constipation from opioid and vincristine use
