Q

what class?

Cimetidine

Ranitidine

Famotidine

Nizatidine

A

H2 blockers

Take H2 blockers before you dine: “Table for 2

2
Q

H2 blockers: mech?

A

Reversible block of histamine H2 receptors

-> decr H+ secr by parietal cells

3
Q

H2 blockers: use?

A

peptic ulcers, gastritis, mild esophageal reflux

4
Q

Which H2 blockers have the most toxicity?

what is that tox?

A

Cimetidine: inhibits cytochrome P-450 -> multiple drug interactions.

Also is an anti-androgen -> prolactin release, gynecomastia, impotence, decr libido in males

Crosses BBB -> confusion, dizziness, headaches

crosses placenta.

Both Cimetidine and Ranitidine decrease renal excr of creatinine (could be a reason for elevated creatinine without another cause)

5
Q

Name the H2 blockers that have no toxic effects listed in FA? (2)

A

Famotidine

Nizatidine

(Ranitidine has only one tox effect: decr renal excr of creatinine. Cimetidine has a boatload.)

6
Q

What class?

Omeprazole, Lansoprazole, Esomeprazole, Pantoprazole, Dexlansoprazole

A

Proton Pump Inhibitors

7
Q

Mechanism?

Omeprazole, Lansoprazole, Esomeprazole, Pantoprazole, Dexlansoprazole

A

Irreversibly inhibit H/K ATPase in stomach parietal cells

(receptors on LUMEN side of the stomach)

(Proton Pump Inhibitors: inhibit “primary active transport”)

8
Q

Clinical Use?

Omeprazole, Lansoprazole, Esomeprazole, Pantoprazole, Dexlansoprazole

A

Peptic ulcer, gastritis, esophageal reflux, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome

9
Q

Toxocity?

Omeprazole, Lansoprazole, Esomeprazole, Pantoprazole, Dexlansoprazole

A

Incr risk of C Diff infection

Pneumonia

With long term use: hip fractures, decr serum Mg2+

(I’m sure this all has something to do with acid.)

10
Q

Bismuth, Sucralfate: Mech?

11
Q

Bismuth, Sucralfate: Use?

A

Allows ulcer healing

Traveler’s diarrhea

12
Q

Misoprostol

Mech?

A

PGE1 analog

  • Incr production/secretion of gastric mucous barrier
  • Decr acid production
13
Q

Misoprostol

Use?

A
  • Prevents peptic ulcers from NSAID use (NSAIDs block PGE1 production)
  • Maintains PDA
  • Ripens cervix -> induces labor

(miso soup steams things open (PDA, cervix). Also is Jen’s hangover cure: aspirin + miso soup)

14
Q

Octreotide

Mech?

A

Long-acting somatostatin analog

Acts on ECL cell, not parietal cell

(Endocrine connection: somatostatin from hypothal decr GH and TSH release. If hypothalamus is destroyed, Octreotide can replace somatostatin)

15
Q

Octreotide

Use?

A
  • Acute variceal bleeds
  • Acromegaly (blocks GH release from pituitary)
  • VIPoma
  • carcinoid tumors
  • helpful for ‘secretory’ diarrhea
16
Q

Octreotide

Tox?

A

nausea, cramps, steatorrhea

17
Q

What class?

Aluminum hydroxide

Calcium carbonate

Magnesium hydroxide

A

Antacids

18
Q

Antacids: general tox?

A
  • affect absorption, bioavailability, or urinary excr of other drugs by altering gastric and urinary pH or by delaying gastric emptying
  • Hypokalemia
19
Q

Aluminum hydroxide: tox?

A

Antacid general tox = alter gastric/urinary pH or delay gastric emptying -> affect other drugs; hypokalemia

Specific to Al hydroxide: constipation, hypophosphatemia, prox muscle weakness, osteodystrophy, seizures

“Aluminimum amount of feces”

20
Q

Calcium carbonate: tox?

A

Antacid general tox = alter gastric/urinary pH or delay gastric emptying -> affect other drugs; hypokalemia

Specific to Ca carbonate: hypercalcemia, rebound acid increase.

Can chelate and decr effectiveness of other drugs (ex tetracycline)

21
Q

Magnesium hydroxide: tox?

A

Antacid general tox = alter gastric/urinary pH or delay gastric emptying -> affect other drugs; hypokalemia

Specific to Mg hydroxide: diarrhea, hyporeflexia, hypotension, cardiac arrest

“Mg = Must Go to the bathroom”

22
Q

Class?

Magnesium hydroxide

Magnesium citrate

Polyethylene glycol

Lactulose

A

Osmotic laxatives

23
Q

Osmotic laxatives: mech?

(Magnesium hydroxide

Magnesium citrate

Polyethylene glycol

Lactulose)

A

Provide osmotic load to drive water out

Lactulose treats hepatic encephalophy (gut flora degrade it into lactic acide and acetic acid -> promotes nitrogen excretion as NH4+

24
