Q

direct and indirect pathways for H2 rec antags

A

DIRECT: ACH, gastrin and histamine stimulate parietal cell–trigger release of H+ into stomach lumen

INDIRECT: ACH and gastrin also stimulate enterochromaffin-like cells (ECL)–>result in secretion of histamine–>then histmaine also acts on parietal cell

25
SE of Cimetidine
endocrine SE due to its antiandrogen effects: * gynecomastia * impotence * Galactorrhea CNS: -confusion, AMS (usually with older or after IV admin) MORE so than Famotidine *inhibits CYP450 so it interfers with a lot of drugs****
26
which H2 rec blocker is assoc with causing the most SE?
Cimetidine
27
how long does it take for tolerance to develop with cimetidine?
days
28
PPIs list of drugs *ending?
-prazole **** ``` Esomeprazole Iansoprazole Omeprazole Dexlansoprazole Pantoprazole Rabeprazole ```
29
what class of drugs is Aripiprazole and Brexpiprazole
Antipsychotics and NOT PPIs********
30
MOA for PPIs
bind to H+/K+ ATPase proton pump and suppress H+ secretion into the gastric lumen * *Irreversible** * *membrane bound proton pump is the final step in acid secretion**
31
PPIs affect on basal and stimulated acid secretion
Stops BOTH !
32
explain chemical composiiton of the PPIs
* prodrugs | * have enteric coating that is acid-resistant so they are not degraded in the gastric acid
33
when is the enteric coating of the PPIs degraded? aka where are they absorbed
in the duodenum aka an alkaline environment | *absorbed and transported to the parietal cell
34
what do the active forms of PPI bind to after being asborbed?
bind to the H+/K+ ATPase enzyme IRREVERSIBLY--stops the acid production for about 18 hours until new enzyme is resynthesized
35
how long does the effects of PPI generally last for?
18 hours---then new ATPase enzyme is synthesized
36
indications for PPIs (6)
* GERD * erosive esophagitis * active duodenal ulcer * pathologic hypersecretory conditions (Zollinger-Ellison) * prophylaxsis use to prevent NSAID induced ulcers and stress induced ulcers * reduce risk of bleeding from ulcers caused by ASA * combined with ABXs for tx of HP
37
*duration of action and first time dosing effects for PPI
limited effect with the first dose BUT bc of irreversible binding, they have a PROLONGED effect over time
38
best to give PPIs with full or empty stomach
fasting state
39
most effective route of admin for PPIs
PO
40
when to administer PPI
30 to 60 mis before breakfast or largest meal of the day
41
why do PPIs have a long duration of action?
beause of the COVALENT irreversible binding to the H+/K+ ATPase enzyme
42
Metabolism for PPIs | *drug-drug interactions: which ones?
P450 enzyme * Clopidogrel effectiveness decrease if administerd with Omeprazole and Esomeprazole * warfarin, diazepma, phenytoin * methotrexate toxicity*
43
increase in _____ with >1 year of use of PPIs
fractures
44
SE of PPIs (9)
* increase risk of fx (bc of Ca2+ absoprtion issues) * B12 deficiency * increase risk of C. Diff and enteric infections * diarrhea * affects Ca2+ and B12 and magnesium absorption * hypomagnesia * incr risk of pneumonia * HA * nausea
45
Esomeprazole has a plasma half-life of a few hours yet suppresses acid secretion for 24 to 48 hours. The reason for this paradox is____?
acid suppression continues unitl new H+/K+ ATPase molecules are synthesized
46
antacids | *describe chemical composition
weak bases
47
what happens when antacids react with gastric acid
form water and salt-->diminishes gastric acidity
48
list the antacids
Aluminum hydroxide Mag hydroxide Ca Carbonate (tums) Mag Trisilicate
49
at what ph is pepsin deactivated
pH > 4
50
what is pepsin
proteolytic enzyme
51
MOA of antacids
They are weak bases**** * react with gastric acid to form salt and water * since they raise pH, they also inactivate pepsin
52
take antacids on full or empty stomach
FULL aka take antacids AFTER meal * delayed gastric emptying with a full stomach * so allows more time for the antacids to work-->prolong the duration of action
53
why is sodium bicarbonate not recommended as an antacid?
because it produces transient metabolic alkalosis-->producing a high sodium load
54
therapeutic uses for antacids | *what are they not used for?
* symptomatic relief of PUD (but not to treat PUD) * heartburn * GERD NOT USED: tx of PUD
55
SE of aluminum hydroxide
constipation
56
SE of magneisum hydroxide
diarrhea
57
which antacid causes: 1. diarrhea 2. constipation
1. mag hydroxide | 2. aluminum hydroxide
58
which antacids are combined in OTC preparations and WHY
Aluminum and mag hydroxide beause their SE of costipation and diarrhea cancel eachother out
59
antacids + renal impaired patients can lead to?
accumulation of Mg, Al, Ca (cations) | -->milk Alkali Syndrome
60
lab findings for milk alkali syndrome
hypercalcemia alkalosis renal injury
61
Prostaglandin-E * where/what produces it * function?
prod: by gastric mucosa Funct: inhibits secretion of acid and stimulates secretion of mucus and bicarb ***cytoprotective effect
62
deficiency of prostaglandin can lead to___
Peptic ulcers
63
list the prostaglandin drugs
Misoprostol
64
Misoprostol * drug class * MOA * indications and contras * SE
Class: Prostaglandin E1 analog MOA: inhibits secretion of gastric acid and stimulates secretion of bicarb and mucous Indications: prevention of NSAID induced gastric ulcers *good for prophylactic use Contra: pregnancy bc it can stim contractions and cause miscarriages SE: * MC= diarrhea (dose-related) * cramping * abdominal pain
65
``` which drug class is preferred for prevention of NSAID induced ulcers Prostaglandin analogs or PPIs? ```
PPIs
66
what drug classes are known to be cytoprotective ?
1. prostaglandin analogs | 2. mucosal protective agents
67
define cytoprotective
agents stimulate mucus production and enhance blood flow throughout the lining of the gastrointestinal tract. These agents also work by forming a coating that protects the ulcerated tissue
68
Sucralfate * drug class * Drug composition * MOA * indications and not used for? * contraindications * drug-drug rxns? * SEs
* Class: Mucosal Protective Agents * Drug Composition: Aluminum Hydroxide + Sulfated Sucrose * MOA: 1. Binds to ions in normal + damaged mucosa-->creating a physical barrier (gel like substance) 2. Protects ulcer from pepsin and acid-- allowing ulcer to heal 3. DOES NOT affect gastric acid or pepsin secretion * indications: 1. GERD in pregnancy 2. NOT USED IN: PUD due to PPIs being superior Contras: none * requires acidic environment for activation DO NOT use with PPIs, H2 antags or antacids * can bind to other drugs and interfere with their absoprtions SE: very well tollerated
69
MOA for the class of drugs: Mucosal Protective Agents
*MOA: cytoprotective: enhance mucosal protection mechanisms, prevent mucosal injury, reduce inflammation, and heal existing ulcers
70
List the mucosal protective agents
Bismuth Subsalicylate and Bismuth Subcitrate Sucralfate
71
Bismuth Subsalicylate and Bismuth Subcitrate * Drug class * MOA * indication * SEs
Drug class: Mucosal protective Agent MOA: 1. supresses HP via its antimicrobial actions 2. inhibits pepsin 3. may increase mucus secretion--to promote ulcer healing via interacting with glycoproteins in necrotic tissue and coats/protects ulcer 4. No effects on inhibiting or neutralizing acid Indications: *part of quad tx for HP eradication SE: * black stool * can raise levels of salicylates-->possible toxicity
72
which is superior for GERD and PUD: PPIs or H2
PPIs
73
PPIs are superior to H2 rec antags for tx of?
acid suppresion in PTs with GERD and PUD
74
which drug class can patient's develop a tolerance for?
H2 rec antagonists | *why their use is limited
75
HP is effectively eradicated via?
COMBO of 1. acid-suppressing drugs 2. multiple ABX 10-14 days
76
which patients need ABX?
HP infections and PTs with PUD (both duodenal and gastric)
77
List the drugs in the two regimens for tx of PUD with +HP infection *percent eradication for each
FIRST LINE: QUAD THERAPY 91%: bismuth subsalicylate + metronidazole + tetracycline + PPI x14 days OR TRIPLE THERAPY 80%: Clarithromycin + amoxicillin (or metronidazole if PCN allg) + PPI X14 days
