20
Q

MoA of H2 blockers

A

REVERSIBLY inhibit h2 recpetors on baso-lateral membrane of parietal cell
30min-2 hour onset (longer than antacids, shorter than PPIs)
ulcer healing occursin 4-8 weeks
inhibit 20-50% of acid production

Q

H2 adverse effects

A

gi - nausea/diarrhea/constipatino
cns - headache
RARE - CEMETIDINE DECREASES TESTOSTERONE BINDING TO ANDROGEN RECPETOR – GYNECOMASTIA IN MEN AND GALACTORRHEA IN WOMEN
blood dyscrasias such as neutropenia and thrombocytopenia

Q

H2 drug interactions

A

primarily with cemetidine
CEMETIDINE INHIBITS CYP450 AND INTERACTS WITH A SHIT TON OF DRUGS
Ranitidine ~10% CYP450 inhibition and other in the family have no inhibition

23
Q

CI for H2 blockers

A

pregnancy

if you have to - use ranitidine or famotidine

24
Q

PPIs include

A
omeprazole
esomeprazole
lansoprazole
dexlansoprazole 
pantoprazole
rabeprazole
25
Q

PO ONLY PPIs

A

omeprazole
lansoprazole
dexlansoprazole
rabeprazole

26
Q

PO/IV PPIs

A

esomeprazole

pantoprazole

27
Q

MoA of PPIs

A

covalently bind to sulfhydryl groups of H+/K+ ATPase at parietal cell secretory sites, thereby inhibiting gastric acid secretion by IRREVERSIBLY INHIBITING functioning -ase pumps
takes several days to reach new steady state

28
Q

PPIs are more effective than H2 blockers, reducing acid secretion by

A

50-90%, whereas H2 vblockers only reach 20-50%

however, H2 blockers have a more rapid onset than PPIs

29
Q

PPIs adverse effects

A
GI- diarrhea/dyspepsia/nausea 
*****CDAD - clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea *****
CNS - HA/dizziness
rare - generalized myalgias, fatigue, myopathies 
increased risk for 
kidney disease (AKI)
bone fractures 
cardiovascular disease
30
Q

PPI drug interactions

A

OMEPRAZOLE INHIBITS CYP450

many drug-drug interactions

31
Q

CI for PPIs

A

pregnancy
only if necessary - lansoprazole or pantoprazole
AVOID OMEPRAZOLE

32
Q

what is sucralfate

A

a suflated polysaccharide

an octasulfate of sucrose with al(OH)3 added

33
Q

MoA of sucralfate

A

cross-links when interacting with stomach acid, creating a viscious sticky polymer which adheres to epithelial cells around an ulcer’s crater
prevents acid access to ulcer sites
stimulates local prostaglandin and mucous productino and epdiermal growth factor - cytoprotective
DOES NOT AFFECT PH

34
Q

indication of sucraflate

A

DUODENAL ULCERS

off-label uses: aphthous ulcers, mucosities/stomatitis, radiation proctitis/ulcers, bile reflux gastropathy, otehrs

35
Q

adverse effects for sucraflate

A

CONSTIPATION

36
Q

CI for sucralfate

A

severe renal failure d/t presence of aluinum

also avoid aluminum antacids

37
Q

drug interactions with sucralfate

A

possible, take 2 hours after other medications

dosed QID for active ulcers so plan other meds accordingly

38
Q

prostaglandin e1 analog

A

misoprostol

39
Q

MoA of misorpostol

A

provides protective prostaglandin to gastric mucosa and reduces gastric acid release from parietal cell
provides cytoprotection by increasing mucosal defenses
stimulates bicarb and mucous production

40
Q

indication for misoprostol

A
prevention of NSAID induced gastric ulceration in patients iwth high risk of ulceration and complications 
off-label uses 
pregnancy termination 
CERVICAL RIPENING

41
Q

adverse effects of misoprostol

A
