WEEK 10 Flashcards
DRUGS AFFECTING GASTROINTESTINAL SECRETIONS:
- H2 Receptor Antagonist
- Proton Pump Inhibitor
- Antacids
- Pancreatic enzyme
- Prostaglandin
Erosions in the lining of the stomach and adjacent areas of the GI tract.
PEPTIC ULCER
present with a predictable description of gnawing, burning pain often occurring a few hours after meals.
Ulcer
• H2 antagonists selectively block H2 receptors located on the_______ cells.
parietal
Blocking these receptors prevents the release of____________, a hormone that causes local release of histamine (due to stimulation of histamine receptors), ultimately blocking the production of________________. also decreases pepsin production by the chief cells.
gastrin
hydrochloric acid
H2 receptor sites are also found in the____________, and high levels of these drugs can produce cardiac arrhythmias
heart
(reduction in the overall acid level can promote healing and decrease discomfort).
Short-term treatment of active duodenal ulcer or benign gastric ulcer
(blocking the overproduction of hydrochloric acid that is associated with these conditions).
Zollinger-Ellison syndrome treatment
(decreasing the acid being regurgitated into the esophagus will promote healing and decrease pain).
Treatment of erosive gastrosophageal reflux
group of inorganic chemicals that neutralize stomach acid.
ANTACIDS
Symptomatic relief of an upset stomach associated with hyperacidity, as well as the hyperacidity associated with peptic ulcer, gastritis, peptic esophagitis, gastric hyperacidity, and hiatal hernia.
• advised to separate them from any other medications by 1 to 2 hours
ANTACIDS
occurs when stomach ac frequently flows back into the tube connecting the mouth and the stomach (esophagus).
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
mild acid reflux that occurs at least twice a week, or moderate to severe acid reflux that occurs at least once a week.
GERD
burning sensation in the chest (heartburn), usually after eating, which might be worse at night; chest pain; difficulty swallowing: regurgitation of food or sour liquid; and a sensation of a lump in your throat
GERD
suppress gastric acid secretion by specifically inhibiting the hydrogen-potassium adenosine triphosphatase (H,K ATPase) enzyme system on the secretory surface of the gastric parietal cells
PROTON PUMP INHIBITORS
blocks the final step of acid production, lowering the acid levels in the stomach
PROTON PUMP INHIBITORS
active duodenal ulcers, GERD, erosive esophagitis, and benign active gastric ulcer
short-term treatment:
pathological hypersecretory conditions
long-term treatment:
healing of erosive esophagitis and ulcers combination with amoxicillin and clozhromycin for the treatment of H. pylori
maintenance therapy:
coat any injured area in the stomach to prevent further injury from acid
GI PROTECTANT
forms an ulcer-adherent complex at duodenal ulcer sites, protecting the sites against acid, pepsin, and bile salts
• prevents further breakdown of the area and promotes ulcer healing.
GI PROTECTANT
is the only Gl protectant currently available
Sucralfate (Carafate)
used to protect the stomach lining
PROSTAGLANDIN
inhibits gastric acid secretion and increases bicarbonate and mucous production in the stomach, thus protecting the stomach lining
