Antacids
Antacids causes _______
Best taken ______ after meals
Constipation
1-2 hours
Inhibit histamine binding to the receptors on the gastric parietal cells to reduce gastric acid secretion
H2 Receptor blockers
H2 receptor blockers is best taken in the ____ and ___ (twice a day)
morning and bedtime

Confusion
Weakness
SE of Cimetidine (CAPDADGID)

Decrease Libido
A cytoprotective drug that coats the ulcers, binds to proteins in the ulcer base, forming a protective barrier against acid, bile and pepsin. It also stimulates the secretion of mucus, HCO3 and prostaglandin
Sucralfate
When should sucralfate be administered?
on empty stomach (30-60 minutes before meals)
Common SE of sucralfate
constipation
Sucralfate should be administered ___ apart from antacid
1 hour
Replaces gastric prostaglandin, promote ulcer healing by stimulating mucus and bicarbonate secretions and by inhibiting acid secretion
Prostaglandin Analogue
Cytotec should be administered with?
meals
Common SE of prostaglandin analogue
Diarrhea
Abd pain
Suppresses gastric acid secretion, bind the acid secreting enzyme (H+K+ ATPase)
Proton Pump Inhibitors
Common SE of PPI
Headache
Abd pain
Nausea
