16
Q

mechanism of action of alginates

A

reacts with acids to form raft of alginic-acid gel

17
Q

how is HCi released from parietal cells

A
  • activate gastric receptors
  • activate muscarinic receptors through Ach
  • activate H2 receptor through histamine
18
Q

how can you stop Acid production from parietal cells

A

PPI
stop histamine receptor
block muscarinic receptor

19
Q

whih drug isnt used clinically

A

muscarinic receptor antagonists

20
Q

PPI act on what cells

A

parietal

21
Q

PPI’s end in what

A

azole

22
Q

which drugs are enteric coated

A

PPI

23
Q

PPI are a type of what

A

pro drug

24
Q

how do PPI work

A

active form irreversibly binds to cysteins of H+/K+ of ATPase inhibitting active proton pump
this prevent H+ movement from parietal cells to stomach
this causes gastric acid secretion to be blocked

25
Q

name two H2 receptor blockers

A

cimetidine

ranitidine

26
Q

Mechanism of action of H2 receptor

A

affects P450 pathway

27
Q

are H2 receptor antagonists competive or not

A

competitive
