Toxic Substances and GI meds Flashcards
MOA of proton pump inhibitors + med names
lansoprazole, omeprazole, pantoprazole, esomeprazole
MOA = IRREVERSIBLE inhibition of parietal cell proton pump, which reduces acid secretion (promotes peptic ulcer healing and prevents reoccurance)
5 indications for PPIs
1) . #1 PUD (very important)
2) . GERD
3) . Zollinger-ellison syndrome
4) . H. pylori tx/Gastritis
5) . OTC for acid indigestion/heartburn
4 side effects of PPIs
diarrhea, headache, b12 deficiency (stopping of parietal cell fxn eventually causes B12 malabsorption probs), hypomagnesemia
when are PPIs normally taken?
30 mins before meal in AM
MOA of H2 blockers and medications
cimetidine, famotidine, ranitidine
MOA = binds to H2 receptor on parietal cells and inhibits gastric acid secretion
4 indications for H2 blockers
PUD, GERD, Zollinger-Ellison, OTC acid indigestion/heartburn
2 ADRs for cimetidine and 2 for Famotidine
C = gynecomastia, impotence F = blood dyscrasias, QT prolongation
when should pts take H2 blockers? which H2 blocker is most potent?
usually at night
famotidine
MOA for antacids and medications
aluminum hydroxide, calcium carbonate (tums), magnesium hydroxide (milk of magnesia)
MOA: neutralizes gastric acid (which raises pH)
3 indications for antacids
1) . sxs relief of heartburn
2) . acid indigestion
3) . GERD
side effects of antacics
Mg: diarrhea
Ca/Al: constipation
MOA of sulcralfate
forms adhesive coating on ulcer surface that promotes healing
2 indications for sulcralfate
1) . treats active ulcers (esp duodenal)
2) prevents recurrent ulcers (used as prophylaxis)
3 side effects for sucralfate
metallic taste, constipation, nausea
what medications should you not take with sucralfate?
any meds that increase stomach pH (take away stomach acid) like PPIs, H2 blockers
*needs acidic pH for activation
MOA of misoprostol
MOA = prostaglandin analogue that inhibits gastrin secretion and INCREASES bicarb/mucus secretion
GI indication for misoprostol
preventing NSAID-induced ulcers (can’t heal existing ulcers)
3 side effects for misoprostol
abdominal cramps, diarrhea, vaginal bleeding
MOA for bismuth subsalicylate compounds and 2 drugs
MOA = antibacterial and binds to ulcer to protect mucosa from acid
Pepto bismol and kaopectate
three indications for bismuth subsalicylate agents
GERD, diarrhea, H. pylori
3 side effects of bismuth products
BLACK stool, constipation, salicylate and neuro toxicity in high doses
what are four classes of medications that can be used for nausea/vomiting
dopamine blockers, serotonin antagonists, antihistamines, anticholinergics
