Question 1

H2 antagonists

Accepted Answer

- Decrease acid production - Provide relief for 6 - 12 hours for most - Takes about 60 - 120 minutes to provide relief. Examples: - Cimetidine (sye MET i deen), Tagament - Ranitidine (ra NYE te deen), Zantac - Famotidine (fa MOE ti deen), Pepcid - Nizatidine (ni AZ ti deen), Axid PRN drug

Question 2

Cimetidine

Accepted Answer

Cimetidine (sye MET i deen) Tagament H2 antagonist Cimetidine is used to treat ulcers, GERD, and conditions where the stomach produces too much acid, such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. It decreases the amount of acid made in the stomach.

Question 3

Ranitidine

Accepted Answer

Ranitidine (ra NYE te deen) Zantac H2 antagonist Ranitidine is used to treat ulcers, GERD, and conditions where the stomach produces too much acid, such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. It decreases the amount of acid made in the stomach.

Question 4

Famotidine

Accepted Answer

Famotidine (fa moe ti deen) Pepcid H2 antagonist (aka blocker) Famotidine is used to treat ulcers (sores on the lining of the stomach or small intestine); GERD (a condition in which backward flow of acid from the stomach causes heartburn and injury of the esophagus); and conditions where the stomach produces too much acid, such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (tumors in the pancreas or small intestine that cause increased production of stomach acid). OTC famotidine is used to prevent and treat heartburn d/t acid indigestion and sour stomach caused by eating or drinking certain foods or drinks. It works by decreasing the amount of acid made in the stomach.

Question 5

Nizatidine

Accepted Answer

Nizatidine (ni AZ ti deen) Axid H2 antagonist Nizatidine is used to treat and prevent the recurrence of ulcers, GERD, and conditions where the stomach produces too much acid, such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. It decreases the amount of acid made in the stomach.

Question 6

Protpon pump inhibitors

Accepted Answer

- Reduce gastric secretion - Not PRN drugs, take daily - Treat for 4 - 8 weeks to allow esophageal mucosa to heal, then stop. If symptoms return (recidivism), which is classic GERD, then endoscopy. Examples: - Omeprazole (oh ME pray zol), Prilosec - Lansoprazole (lan SOE pra zole), Prevacid - Raberprazole (ra BE pray zole), Aciphex - Esopmeprazole (es oh ME pray zol), Nexium - Pantoprazole (pan TOE pra zole), Protonix

Question 7

Omeprazole

Accepted Answer

Omeprazole (oh ME pray zol) Prilosec Proton pump inhibitor Omeprazole is used to treat the symptoms of GERD, allow the esophagus to heal, and prevent further damage to the esophagus. It is also used to treat ulcers and prevent the return of ulcers caused by H. pylori. It works by decreasing the amount of acid made in the stomach.

Question 8

Lansoprazole

Accepted Answer

Lansoprazole (lan SOE pra zole) Prevacid Proton pump inhibitor Lansoprazole is used to treat the symptoms of GERD, allow the esophagus to heal, and prevent further damage to the esophagus. Lansoprazole is used to prevent further ulcer development in patients with ulcers and in those taking NSAIDS. It is also used to treat conditions where the stomach produces too much acid, such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. It is also used to prevent stomach ulcers caused by H. pylori. It works by decreasing the amount of acid made in the stomach.
