treatment regimens
- PPI + amoxicillin + clarithromycin x 10-14 days - PPI + metronidazole + clarithromycin x 10-14 days - PPI + 3 antibiotics x 10-14 days - PPI + bismuth + 2 antibiotics x 10-14 days
26
clarithromycin [Biaxin]
inhibiting protein synthesis - rate of resistance is high
27
clarithromycin [Biaxin] most common side effects
- nausea - diarrhea - distortion of taste
28
amoxicillin
- rate of resistance is low - antibacterial activity is highest at neutral pH and thus can be adhanced by reducing gastric acidity with antisecretory agent (e.g. omeprazole)
29
what is the msot common side effect of amoxicillin
diarrhea
30
how do bismuth compounds destroy H pylori
act topically to disrupt the cell wall casuing lysis and cell death - also may inhibit urease activity (may prevent from adhering to the gastric surface)
31
bismuth compounds long term therapy
possible risk of neurologic injury
32
tetracycline
- inhibitor of bacterial protein synthesis - resistance is rare
33
tetracycline should not be used in
pregnant patients and young children - can stain teeth
34
tetracycline side effect
can stain teeth
35
metronidazole [Flagyl]
- very effective agianst sensative strains - over 40% of strains are now resistant
36
metronidazole [Flagyl] most common side effect
nausea and headache
37
what should be avoided in patients takin metronidazole [Flagyl]
avoid alcohol - reaction can occur
38
examples of Histamine 2 receptor antagonists
- Cimetidine [Tagamet] - Famotidine [pepcid] - Nizatidine [Axid]
39
histamine 2 receptor antagonists
- effects drug for treating gastric and duodenal ulcers - promote healing by suppressing secretion of gastric acid - side effects uncommon
40
therapeutic uses for all H2RA's
- gastric doudenal ulcers - GERD - zollinger-ellison syndrome - aspiration pneumonits - heartburn, acid indigestion, sour stomach
41
therapeutic uses for cimetidine only
- molluscum contagiosum - warts
42
Cimetidine [Tagamet] adverse effects
- antiandrogenic effects - elevation of gastric pH may increase risk of pneumonia - CNS effects: confusion, hallucinations
43
H2RAs should be taken
without meals
44
what is the msot effective drug for suppressing secretion of gastric acid
Proton Pump Inhbitors (PPIs)
45
Proton Pump Inhbitors (PPIs) therapeutic uses
Short term - gastric/duodenal ulcers - GERD
46
Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) negatives
- cost and prescribers preference, DI's swallowing abilities - can increase risk of serious adverse events, including fracture, pneumonia, acid rebound, and possibly intestinal infection with Clostridium difficile
47
examples of PPI
omepazole [Losec]
48
omepazole [Losec]
prodrug converted in parietal cells
49
omepazole [Losec] side effects
- usually inconsequential with short term use - headache - GI: nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, flatulence
50
omepazole [Losec] adverse effects
- pneumonia (initial use) - fractures - hypomagnesemia - rebound acid hyperssecretion - c. difficile infection
51
Esomeprazole [Nexium] should be administered
- before meal - in combination with naproxen [vimovo] - daily dosing
52
Esomeprazole [Nexium] can be given
to children > 1 yr
53
Esomeprazole [Nexium] has better _____ than omeprazole
bioavailability
54
Lansoprazole [Prevacid]
- delayed release capsules and FasTabs - NG tube, swallowing difficulties - dose: 30mg daily
55
Dexlansoprazole [Dexilant]
- formulated as dual release capsule - doses: 30-60 mg daily - lower dose if moderate-severe hepatic impairment
56

58
adverse effects when Pantoprazole [Pantoloc] is administered via IV
diarrhea, headache, nausea, dyspepsia, injection site reactions, including thrombophlebitis and abcess)
59
Rabeprazole [Pariet]

64
Misoprostol [Cytotec] therapeutic effects
- only approved for Gi indication is prevention of gastric ulcers cause by long term NSAID therapy
65
Misoprostol [Cytotec] adverse effects
- Most common; dose related diarrhea and abdominal pain
66
Misoprostol [Cytotec] is contradicted during
pregnancy - category X
67
antacids MOA
react with gastric acid to produce neutral salts or salts of low acidity
68
what is the only antiacid that alters the systemic pH
sodium bicarbonate
69
antacids should be used with caution is patients with
renal impairment
70
Antacids adverse effects
- Constipation: aluminum hydroxide - Diarrhea: magnesium hydroxide - sodium loading
71
antacid drug interactions
- Cimetidine - Sucralfate
72
antacid administration
seperate administration of antacid and other drugs by at least ONE HOUR
73
antacid families
- aluminum compounds - magnesium compounds - calcium compounds - sodium compounds
74
Magnesium hydroxide [Milk of magnesium]
rapid acting, high acid-neutralizing capacity, produces long lasting effects
75
Magnesium hydroxide [Milk of magnesium] most prominent adverse effect is
diarrhea
76
Magnesium hydroxide [Milk of magnesium] is usually taken in combination with
aluminum hydroxide (antacid that promotes constipation)
77
Magnesium hydroxide [Milk of magnesium] is avoided in patients with
undiagnoised abdominal pain
78
Magnesium hydroxide [Milk of magnesium] is frequently used as a
laxative
79
Magnesium hydroxide [Milk of magnesium] is used with caution in patients with
renal failure
80
Aluminum Hydroxide [Amphogel]
- low acid neutralizing capacity - slow acting; effects have long duration - rarely used alone (combination with magnesium hydroxide)
81
Aluminum Hydroxide [Amphogel] caution
significant amounts of sodium
82
Aluminum Hydroxide [Amphogel] adverse effects
constipation
83
Calcium carbonate (tums)
- rapid acting, high acid neutralizing capacity, effects have long duration - acid rebound - low palatability
84
Calcium carbonate (tums) principle adverse effect
constipation -eructation (belching) and flatulence
85
Sodium Bicarbonate (Eno)
- useful for treating acidosis and elevating urinary pH to promote excretion of acidic drugs after overdose
86
can Sodium Bicarbonate (Eno) be used to treat PUD
no - can cause alkalosis
87
Sodium Bicarbonate (Eno)adverse effects
- can cause alkalosis (patients with renal failure) - eructation and flatulence - can exacerbate hypertension and heart failure
