Q

side effects of cimetidine

A

LOW
◦ Androgen blockade :Gynecomastia, reduced libido, impotence
◦ CNS Effects b/c crosses BB : Elderly (somnolence, seizure)
◦ Pneumonia (all H2 blockers)
‣ Bacterial colonization in the stomach increases with less acid present
• increase risk of aspiration pneumonia

Q

indication for using omeprazole (Prilosec)

A

ulcers, erosive esophagitis, GERD Zollinger-Ellison, stress ulcer prevention–> ICU/Trauma

21
Q

how long to be on omeprazole (Prilosec)

A

4-8 weeks

22
Q

short term vs long term side efffects of omeprazole (Prilosec)

A

Side Effects: headache, diarrhea, N/V (<1%)
long term side effects: osteoporosis and hip fractures, Cdiff, pneumonia, acid rebound (difficult to come off drug), kidney disease, Mg deficiency
◦ Possible: B12 deficiency, dementia

23
Q

patient education for omeprazole (Prilosec)

A

• only want patients on these short term!

–> wean off and put on H2 blocker

24
Q

ending for ppi’s

A

prazole

25
Q

prototype for mucosal protectant

A

Sucralfate

26
Q

how does Sucralfate fxn

A

Creates a protective coating on the gastric and esophageal surface
–>protects the ulcer from acid and pepsin

*Not absorbed -> does not reduce acid secretion

27
Q

side effects of Sucralfate

A

constipation

28
Q

admin for Sucralfate

A

Take 1 hr before meals and at HS
>Interfere with absorption of other meds
• Separate by 2 hrs.

29
Q

admin considerations giving sucralfate for gi vs esophagus ulcer

A
  • Ulcers in esophagus: make a slurry w/ the pill

- Ulcers in stomach: take pill as regular

30
Q

Prostaglandin Agent prototype

A

misoprostol (Cytotec)

31
Q

how does misoprostol (Cytotec) fxn?

A

Synthetic prostaglandins (stimulate secretion of mucous/bicarbonate, cause vasodilation

32
Q

how do NSAID cause ulceration?

A

NSAID inhibits prostaglandin –> suppresses mucous/bicarb, promote gastric acid

33
Q

indication for using misoprostol (Cytotec)

A

Used only for NSAID gastric ulcers

34
Q

misoprostol (Cytotec) safe for preggos?

A

Pregnancy Category X –> prostaglandins stimulate uterine contractions

35
Q

side effects of misoprostol (Cytotec)

A

diarrhea, abdominal pain, spotting, dysmenorrhea

36
Q

fxn of antacids

A

Alkaline compounds that neutralize stomach acid

37
Q

indication for using antacids

A

PUD, GERD symptom control

38
Q

admin of antacids

A

Separate 1 hour from other drugs –> drug needing acidic enviro for absorb will be diminished

39
Q

different kinds of antacid compounds

A

aluminum
magnesium
calcium
sodium

40
Q

antacid compounds that cause constipation?

A

aluminum

calcium

41
Q

anatacid compound not safe for renal disease?

A

magnesium

42
Q

magnesium + kidney disease = hypo or hyper magnesium?

A

hyper

43
Q

antacid of choice? why?

A

milk of magnesia is antacid of choice: high acid neutralizing effects, rapid acting, long lasting effects

44
Q

antacid compound that causes diarrhea

A

magnesium

45
Q

antacid compound that causes gas

A

sodium and calcium

46
Q

anatacid compound that causes fluid retention

A

sodium

47
Q

avoid sodium antacids in which patient popilation

A

HTN, heart failure

48
Q

antacid compound that causes acid rebound and need repeat dosing

A

calcium (tums)

49
Q

what is simethicone

A

decreases gas (not a PUD or laxative)
