Q

SOME RISK FACTORS
• Being a ____ carrier
• Smoking
• ____ (ibuprofen, naproxen, diclofenac)
• SSRIs –____ (Prozac®), paroxitene (Paxil®), ____ (Lexapro®)
• Stress - ____!!!!!
• Hot spicy foods – while may ____ an ulcer - ____!!!!!!!

• Good at surviving in high acidic environments by releasing ammonia > neutralizes acid and can survive
	○ Found in people with GI cancers
	○ Type of ulcers: \_\_\_\_ and duodenal
• Smoking
	○ Not bc of the smoke irritating the stomach
	○ Hits nicotinic cholinergic receptors > \_\_\_\_ receptors > stimulates \_\_\_\_ cells, not directly on the end-organ though
• NSAIDs
	○ \_\_\_\_ is prescription
	○ Block synthesis of \_\_\_\_ in the stomach
	○ If get an ulcer and start bleeding > these drugs have \_\_\_\_ activity
	○ If on drugs to 6 mo to a year on ibuprofen/diclo > 1%
		§ With naproxen > \_\_\_\_% a year
			□ More selective at blocking \_\_\_\_ than it is at blocking COX-2
• SSRIs
	○ Used to treat anxiety
	○ SSRI and NSAID together > \_\_\_\_ effect on risk of getting a GI ulcer
• Stress
	○ Never been proven to cause GI ulcers
• Hot spicy food
	○ Never been proven to cause GI ulcers
	○ May aggravate if you have one

Q

Role of PGs

• Alerts of injury
• PG involved in \_\_\_\_ and sensitize free-nerve endings to other mediators of \_\_\_\_
• One normal constitutive role > naturally produced in stomach > enhance amount of \_\_\_\_
	○ Slowing down effect on acid release also
• Good guys in kidney > enhance \_\_\_\_ excretion bc they enhance renal blood flow
A

inflammation
pain
bicarb
water/sodium

Q

Relative Risk of GI Bleed Compared to Non-Users Of Either Drug Class

* Compared to people who aren't on chronic NSAIDs > \_\_\_\_x more likely to develop an ulcer if on chronic NSAIDs
* People on SSRIs > \_\_\_\_x greater risk than general population
* NSAID and SSRI > \_\_\_\_x greater risk of developing a GI bleed

Q

• Develop an ulcer from an NSAID > the NSAID will block ____ in a platelet (aspirin irreversibly binds COX it never lets go - the platelet will be finished bc it has no nucleus and cannot develop more COX) > can cause the ____ to continue
Serotonin also makes platelet ____; platelets suck it up from the blood stream > SSRIs block this function

Q

Treatment of NSAID Induced GI Symptoms and ulcers

• + on a receptor > stimulates HCl secretion through the pump
	○ Things with a + > want to use an antagonist
	○ Things with a - > want to use an agonist
• Atropine
	○ Muscarinic cholinergic antagonist
	○ Good at causing \_\_\_\_, constipation
	○ Must be on 6-8 weeks > 80% of patients ulcers heal
	○ Can be a problem with \_\_\_\_; or pupils dialated
• Pirenzipine
		○ Not approved in the US
		○ Selective \_\_\_\_ receptor blocker
			§ More on \_\_\_\_ cells or salivary glands/heart
				□ If on heart > would increase HR
		○ Being developed for \_\_\_\_ neuropathy
• Cimetidine, Ranitidine, Famotidine
	○ -tidine
	○ Can get all OTC for short-term \_\_\_\_ etc.
	○ No more for \_\_\_\_ days use - not said it's used for GERD or GI ulcers
		§ Lay person cannot diagnose if they have a GI ulcer Better \_\_\_\_ than the musc chol antagonists
A
xerostomia
glaucoma
M1

Q

Treatment of NSAID Induced GI Symptoms and Ulcers

• Misoprostol
	○ \_\_\_\_ analog
	○ Can be combined with NSAID
	○ Not to treat GI ulcers but to \_\_\_\_ them
	○ Most stays in \_\_\_\_, some can go systemic > contract smooth muscle > increased \_\_\_\_ > diarrhea; will also contract the uterus > early labor > \_\_\_\_ agent (can be combined with mithoprestone to induce abortions)

• -azoles
	○ More powerful and efficacious
	○ \_\_\_\_ bind HCl pump > shut down the HCl pumps until new pumps are synthesized, so its action lasts far longer than its \_\_\_\_

	○ Esomeprazole
		§ \_\_\_\_-isomer of omeprazole
			□ For activity > S-isomer has most beneficial activity > \_\_\_\_-dose and less \_\_\_\_

• Antibiotics
	○ Dental infections > don't want to combine static and cidal; but here they'll do it > peptobismol is an \_\_\_\_, but bismith kills H pylori sometimes considered antimicrobial; sometimes metronidazole is included
	○ Prevents a lot of ulcer \_\_\_\_ > most people recur; but antibiotics greatly reduces the chance of recurrence
	○ Alone can help heal an ulcer
		§ Will be on other drugs in addition; H2 blocker, etc.

• Antacids
	○ \_\_\_\_ hydroxize, mag hydoxide, \_\_\_\_ carbonate to neutralize the HCl
	○ Would have to drink a lot of this to heal the ulcer
	○ Used OTC; but can be used for breakthrough \_\_\_\_ from GI ulcers

Q
• Histamine hits all the receptors
	• Drugs that are therapeutically used either block the \_\_\_\_ (seasonal allergies, hay-fever, motion sickness) and \_\_\_\_ (hyperacidity gastric conditions); nothing at H3 or H4 receptor
	• 2 methyl histamine
		○ Specific \_\_\_\_ receptor antagonist
	• 4 methyl histamine
		○ Selective for \_\_\_\_ receptor
	• R-alpha methyl histamine
		○ Selective for \_\_\_\_ receptor > may function as \_\_\_\_ in the brain; may be a brake on histamine release
	• Totally laboratory made
