Q

What are the most effective drugs for preventing and treating peptic ulcer disease? Why?

A

Antimicrobials (Amoxicillin, Clarithromycin, Metronidazole, Rifabutin and Tetracycline). Because they eradicate H. pylori.

Q

What happens if Tetracycline is co-administered with antacids?

A

Antacids significantly decrease antibiotic efficacy due to chelation

16
Q

What drugs have few side effects, leading to their OTC status?

A

H2 receptor blockers (except Cimetidine)

17
Q

What drugs are the most effective agents for reducing intragastric acidity?

A

Proton Pump Inhibitors:

  • Omeprazole
  • Esomeprazole
  • Rabeprazole
  • Lansoprazole
  • Pantoprazole
18
Q

What is the mechanism of proton pump inhibitors?

A

Irreversibly block the final common pathway in acid secretion - H+/K+ ATPase

19
Q

What are the weak bases?

A

Antacids:

  • Aluminum hydroxide
  • Calcium carbonate
  • Magnesium hydroxide
  • Sodium bicarbonate
20
Q

What are the weak bases used for?

A

To buffer stomach acid

21
Q

What do antacids differ greatly in?

A

Efficacy and side effects

22
Q

How can the differences in antacids be predicted?

A

Based on the degree of systemic absorption, rate of dissolution and reactivity, as well as the effects of cations and/or reaction products.

23
Q

Antacids:

A

Rapid onset but short duration of action; no prevention of ulcer recurrence –> useful for intermittent dyspepsia

24
Q

H2 blockers:

A

Relatively rapid onset, intermediate duration, some prevention –> many uses

25
Q

PPIs:

A

Slow onset of action, very long duration of action, excellent prevention –> drugs of choice for Zollinger-Ellison syndrome and GERD, as well as ulcer treatment

26
Q

What two drugs protect the ulcer surface by different mechanisms?

A

Sucralfate and Bismuth Subsalicylate

27
Q

What is the drug of choice based on MOA for ulcers induced by NSAIDS?

A

Misoprostol (PGE1), although side effects and the need for frequent dosing limit its use. It is an abortifacient.

28
Q

What are two of the many drug-drug interactions that have been documented for anti-ulcer medications?

A
  1. Among the drugs within the anti-ulcer regimens (Tetracycline + antacids, for example)
  2. Alterations in the pharmacokinetics of other drugs a patient is taking (especially in cases where luminal pH is critical for absorption, as both increases and decreases in bioavailability have been documented).
    The fact that many of these drugs are available OTC must be considered also.
29
Q

What are the main uses for anti-ulcer drugs?

A
  1. Treatment of Peptic Ulcer disease
    - H. pylori, 65 percent
    - NSAIDs, 25 percent
    - Others, 10 percent
  2. GERD and NERD (non-errosive reflux disease)
    - Eliminating H. pylori may make these worse
  3. Hypersecretory states
    - Dyspepsia (self limiting)
    - Stress ulcers (ICU)
    - Gastronoma (Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome)
    - Systemic mastocytosis (hyper secretion of stomach acid)
30
Q

What are the goals of anti-ulcer drug treatment?

A
  1. Heal lesion
  2. Relieve pain
  3. Remove possibility of recurrence
  4. Avoid complications
  5. Eliminate Maintenances
  6. Prevent development of resistance (antibiotics)
31
Q

What are treatment strategies with anti-ulcer drugs?

A
  1. Eliminate H. pylori
  2. Decrease Pain
    - Decrease stimulation of acid production (H+)
    - Decrease acid production (H+)
    - Buffer acid
    - Protect surface
  3. Replace PGEs (NSAID induced ulcers)
32
Q

What factors influence the choice of specific antimicrobial agents for treatment of H. pylori infection?

A
  1. Susceptibility of H. pylori to drug (MIC 50/90 - lower value is better)
  2. Distribution of drug (pharmacokinetics)
  3. Resistance (metronidazole is being phased out)
33
Q

From what directions can drugs attack H. pylori?

A

From the stomach, through the mucus gel layer and from the blood stream through the mucus cells.

34
Q

What make Amoxicillin the penicillin of choice?

A
  1. Effective against gram -
  2. Orally available
  3. Acid stable
35
Q

What is Amoxicillin’s MOA and toxicity?

A
  • Bactericidal
  • Cell Wall Inhibitor
  • Major toxicity = Hypersensitivity Reactions
