25
How are PPI's activated?
They are prodrugs activated by Acid
26
PPI's have a ___________half-life but a________duration of action.
1. Short | 2. Long
27
Adverse effect of PPI use?
Hypergastrinemia can occur and result in rebound hypersecretion of gastric acid. Increased pH in gut can affect drug absorption and increase infection risk.
28
What is Misoprostol? How does it work?
Is a prostaglandin E1 derivative which reduces HCL secretion from parietal cells. Cytoprotectant= Enchances mucus and bicarbonate secretion.
29
What drug is commonly administered with NSAIDs as pepric ulcer preventative?
Misoprostol
30
What are the adverse effects of misoprostol?
Diarrhea, Abortifacient (Trump can't stop us now!)
31
How does H.Pylori cause peptic ulcers?
It reduces D-cell production of Somatostatin. This leads to an increased secretion of gastrin====>Stimulates parietal cells to secrete HCl====>Ulceration occurs.
32
Bismuth subsalicylate (Pepto-Bismol) is converted to_______ and ______ in the GI tract
1. Bismuth salts | 2. Salicylic acid
33
What properties does Bismuth subsalicylate have?
Antibacterial, antiviral and antisecretory activity
34
What is bismuth used for?
Treatment of diarrhea and part of therapy to treat H. pylori.
35
What class of drugs increase GI motility?
Prokinetic drugs | Laxatives
36
What class of drugs reduce GI motility?
1. Antidiarrheals. | 2. Anti-emetics
37
What does Metoclopramide(Reglan) act on?
It is a prokinetic drug that blocks the D2 dopamine receptor in the myenteric plexus which leads to increased ACh release.
38
What is Metoclopramidine used for?
Facilitate small bowel intubation, post-op and diabetic gastroparesis, GERD and is an anti-emetic.
39
What side effects does metoclopramide have?
Sedation Parkinson's-like syndrome Hyperprolactinemia (Gynecomastia, galactorrhea and breat tenderness)
40
How do Cisapride, Tegaserod and Prucalopride work?
Both are 5-HT4 agonists. They are prokinetic drugs but withdrawn freom market in US due to Cardiovascular toxicity. Prucalopride is not available in the USA.
41
How does erythromycin work in relation to GI motility?
It's a prokinetic.......so diarrhea is an expected side effect of using this ATB. It is a motilin agonist.
42
What is Linaclotide? How does it work?
It is a prokinetic drug. It's a peptide activator of guanylate cyclase 2
43
What conditions does Linaclotide treat?
Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Constipation, Idiopathic constipation. (Take 30mins before first meal).
44
What are the side effectas of linaclotide?
Diarrhea only It is not absorbed systemically
45
What is Liaclotide's mode of action?
Image is excellent. It Activates Guanylate cyclase 2 receptor=====>Increases cGMP=====>CFTR is activated increasing Cl and HCO3 release into the lumen. It also decreases activity of pain-sensing nerves as a result of elevation in extracellular cGMP concentration
46
Name a secretory laxative
Castor oil- Hydrolyzed in small intestine into ricinoleic acid
47
Bisacodyl (dulcolax), Cascara, Senna and Aloes (Anthraquinones) _How do these work?
Stimulate peristalsis by opening Cl- channels in intestinal mucosa to allow Cl-, Na+, and H2) into the lumen.
48
Lubiprostone is used to treat what?
Is a specific CIC2 activator used to treat Chronic Idiopathic constipation. Also used with IBS with chronic constipation.
49
How do bulk and Saline laxatives work?
Increase intestinal luminal osmotic force leading to distension and an increased peristalsis. Thy are non absorbable and form hydrophobic mass in presense of H2O
50
Give 5 examples of a bulk laxative
``` Psyllium Methylcellulose Bran Milk of magnesia Laculose Iso osmotic electrolyte solutions with polyethylene glycol(GoLytely) ```
51
What is laculose used to treat
Hepatic encephalopathy
52
How do stool softeners work? Give 5 examples.
``` Incorporate into stool making passage easy Docusate sodium (Colace), mineral oil, glycerin, surfactants and lubricants. ```
53
What is a sideefect of using stool softeners?
Can decrease the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins
54
How do anti-diarrheals work?
Slow peristalsis to increase H2O and electrolyte absorption.
55
Give one example of anticholinergic anti-diarrheals.
Dicyclomine (Bentyl)
56
Give two examples of opiate anti-diarrheals.
Diphenoxylate (W/ atropine; Lomotil) | Loperamide
57
When are the anti-diarrheal opiates_________and ________ contradindicated?
1. Diphenoxylate and 2. Loperimide | Contraindicated in pts with severe ulcerative colitis and bacterial diarrhea.
58
How do diphenoxylate and loperamide work?
They act locally (No CNS effects) to delay gastric emptying.
59
How does Kaolin, Pectin and low dose fiber work?
Adsorb potential intestinal toxins and H2O.
60
How does Crofelemer work? and when is it used?
Crofelemer blocks CFTR and Ca++ activated Cl- channels (CaCCs) It is used in HIV patients on antiretroviral therapy.
61
What is Alosetron? When is it used?
Alosetron is a 5HT3 receptor inhibitor. It is used in women with IBS+Diarrhea. It blocks visceral afferent pain sensation and decreases colon motility
62
What are the side effects of Alosetron?
Constipation, Ischemic colitis (may be fatal)
63
Name the 3 D2 dapamine receptor antagonists which are used as anti-emetics?
Promethazine Prochlorperazine Metoclopramide
64
Name two anticholinergic/Antihistamines used as anti-emetics
Meclizine | Scopolamine
65
What can scopolamine and meclizine be used for?
Motion sickness
66
Name three 5HT3 receptor antagonists that are used as anti-emetics
Ondansetron Aprepitant Granisetron
67
How do 5HT3 receptor antagonists work as anti-emetics?
