Q

Cimetidine

A

“tidines” H2 blockers on parietal cells.

Reversible blockers, need to take every 12 hours.

Contraindicated in preggers and breast feeding

Cimetidine (only, not other H2’s) blocks P450–LOTS OF DRUG INTERACTIONS and antiandrogenic effects. Can cross BBB.

Q

Omeprazole

A

-prazoles. Inhibit H/K ATPase of parietal cells.

Take every 24 hours. ** Prodrugs–require protonation for activation.**

Increased risk of C. Dif infection (decreased instestinal pH), pneumonia.

Increased Hip fractures from less Mg2+ with chronic use.

Q

Antacids (what antibiotic can you not take in combo with)

A

All cause hypokalemia. Can be combine with alginic (alginate) acid: reacts with esophageal bases to foam=good for GERD

Alu-minum Hydroxide (“minimum amount of feces”): Constipatino, and hypophsophatemia, prox muscle weakeness and seizures

Calcium Carb: hypercalcemia, chelates other drugs: eg TETRACYCLINE

Mg Hydroxide: Diarrhea (Mg: must go to the bathroom), hyporeflexia, hypotension, cardiac arrest.

Q

Sucralfate/Bismuth

A

Binds to ulcer base: physical barrier and allows bicarb to reestablish pH gradient.

Sucralfate: Requires acidic conditions (thus don’t take with PPI/H2s/Antacids). Good for DUODENAL ulcers

Bismuth subsalicylate (pepto bismol): T**URN STOOL BLACK. **Binds ulcers, direct antimicrobial activity against H. pylori and binds enterotoxins (CAN be combined wih tetracycline or metranidazole to increase H pylori killing)
