Q

_______ are inorganic chemicals that either produce or become acid.

A

Acidifiers

19
Q

These chemicals increase the level of gastric acid in the stomach when ingested, thus decreasing the stomach pH.

A

Acidifiers

20
Q

Some of these drugs are used to increase metabolic acidosis whereas some of these are used to increase the gastric hydrochloric acid.

A

Acidifiers

21
Q

Classifications of Acidifiers

A

•Gastric acidifiers
•Urinary acidifiers
•Systemic acidifiers

22
Q

drugs which are used in increasing the acidity of stomach.

A

Gastric acidifiers

23
Q

These agents used in patients suffering from achlorhydria or hypochlorhydria.

A

Gastric Acidifiers

24
Q

inadequate secretion of acid takes place in the stomach

A

Hypochlorhydria

25
Q

drugs which are used to remove acidic urine from the body or to maintain pH of urine

A

Urinary acidifiers

26
Q

able to neutralized the alkaline body fluid or to maintain the pH of all part of the body

A

Systemic acidifiers

27
Q

Used to treat patient suffering from systemic alkalosis.

A

Systemic acidifiers

28
Q

Example of Acidifying Agent

A

Ammonium chloride

29
Q

Solutions of ammonium chloride are ______.

A

mildly acidic

30
Q

chemical formula of ammonium chloride

A

NH4Cl

31
Q

appearance; odor; and taste of ammonium chloride

A

white solid, hygroscopic; odorless; cooling saline

32
Q

__________ is used as an expectorant in cough medicine. Its expectorant action is caused by irritative action on the bronchial mucosa, which causes the production of excess respiratory tract fluid, which presumably is easier to cough up.

A

Ammonium chloride

33
Q

______ are an irritant to the gastric mucosa and may induce nausea and vomiting.

A

Ammonium salts

34
Q

_______ is used as a systemic acidifying agent in treatment of severe metabolic alkalosis.

Q

________ is used as a flux in preparing metals to be tin coated, galvanized or soldered.

A

Ammonium chloride

37
Q

Advantages of Acidifiers

A

•Completely bio – degradable
•Less stringent smell of acids
•No resistance
•User – friendly

38
Q

Classification of GI Agents

A

•Antacids
•Protectives and adsorbents
•Saline cathartics (purgatives)

39
Q

________ is to neutralize excess HCl which maybe causing pain and possible ulceration.

A

Antacid

40
Q

______ is a group of gastrointestinal agents that is commonly used or the treatment of mild diarrhea.

A

A

Acidifiers

44
Q

_________ are those which, when given usually by injection, act by reducing the alkali reserve in the body and are also useful in reducing metabolic alkaloid.

A

Systemic acidifiers
