Q

Why should Pt avoid taking antacids w/ PPI dosing?

A
  1. Avoid oral med 1-2hr of other RX 2. Reduce bioavailability of H2 blockers 3. INC pH-enteric coated drugs may be release early, goal is to get to duodenal to get absorbed, IF PH HIGH in stomach will not get absorbed in ideal location 4. INC urine PH

Q

WHat agents protect itself from acid of pH by enteric coating?

A

omeprazole/Prilosec, lansoprazole/Prevacid- coated granules. AVOID antacids or alkaline juices bc may break enteric coat. IDEAL Monotherapy and with a MEAL- bc only works when proton pumps engaged to work

Q

What race group is warning w/PPI?

Study These Flashcards
A

Asian- Dose DEC omeprazole d/t interaction w/ clopidogrel

20
Q

Stress ulcers in scene in hospital from trauma, what agent mucosal protective agent is PREG X?

Study These Flashcards
A

misoprostol- binds prostaglandin, INC blood flow. Produced uterine contractions. USED- NSAID induced PUD

21
Q

What agent binds to damage ulcer and forms a barrier to injury?

22
Q

How does Pepto Bismol work?

Study These Flashcards
A

Bismuth subsalicylate-coats ulcers and erosions, stimulates mucous prostaglandins, HCO3, binds to microbial

23
Q

What can bismuth be used for?

Study These Flashcards
A

Dyspepsia, Acute diarrhea, Travelers diarrhea. H.pylori- PPI+bismuth+ABX

24
Q

What are the weird SIDE of bismuth?

Study These Flashcards
A

Black stools and tongue. Ask pt if taking before DX with melena 2. AVOID in renal dysfunction- toxicity encephalopathy (CNS)

25
What agent kill H. Pylori?
ABX ONLY!. PPI only INC PH thus ABX can work better on H. pylori in the stomach. AVOID H2 blocker in h.pylori NO INC PH effects.
26
What is tX for H. Pylori?
Quad-PPI BID + Clari + amox+metronidazole x 14 days or Bismuth instead of PCN
27
What agent lower LES pressure, accelerated gastric emptying w/o stimulate gastric secretions. IF OD provide anticholinergic?
Metoclopramide- AND extrapyramidal effects d/t antagonizes Dopamine
28
What agent is used for gastric emptying/Diabetic gastroparesis?
Metoclopramide
29
What other agents INC gastric motility?
Bethanechol, neostigmine, erythromycin-ABC inc diarrhea. Used or endoscopic emergence?
30
What are the main approached for constipation
1. Find their relative normal 2. Diet- INC fiber for bulk 3. Underlying condition 4 Surgery expectations
31
What class of drugs cause constipation?
Analgesic- OPIATES 2. Anticholinergics 3. Succinylcholine 4 Calcium antacids 5 CCB 6 Diuretics 7. IRON
32
Which agents is all much and no push and should not be RX with opiates?
Docusate and Senna
33
Name a few stool softeners that work 1-3d?
Psyllium, Docusate, Lactulose, Sorbitol, Mineral oil
34
Name a few stool softener w/ semi fluid stools that work 6-12?Too harsh for mild constipation
Senna, Mg-Sulfate, Bisacodyl
35
Name a few watery stool producers w/ 1-6h? Ideal for severe constipation
Mg+: citrate, H2O2, sulfate, 4.Na phosphate, Bisacodyl, Polyethethylene glycol
36
What is firstline in treating constipation?
Diet
37
What agents are indigestible, absorb water to form bulk, promote peristalsis?
Methylcellulose, polycarbophil, psyllium- ADE: Bloating, INC sugars(AVOID DM) USE- IBS DEC TC and LDL
38
Which laxative is least effective but good for pregnancy, reduce surface film tension, all mush and no push, prevent dry stools?
Emollient Docusates-softener only. NON STIMULANT ADE- skin, GI
39
Which Lax is AVOIDED in bed bound due to aspiration, AVOID LT due to ADEK impaired, Leaks?
Mineral oil- DEC stool transit time, so less water absorbed from feces. USE- fecal impaction short term
40
Which lax is USED for bed bound, neuro impaired, and not for pregnancy, appendicitis, lactation?
Castor oil
41
Which LAX discolors urine?
cascara, sagrade, senna- pink red red brown
42
Which LAX are for acute, chronic, and prevention, last resort bc potent?
Osmotic Mg and Na: prompt bowel evacuation, rapid water movement into distal small, leads to high stool vol.
43
AVOID this lax in elderly, frail, renal impaired, CHF pt?
Saline- no long term. ADE/ DD- reduce ciprofloxacin, alkalosis
44
What lax is non absorbable osmotic active sugar w/ Na+, K+, prevent water absorption in intestine, for bowel cleansing?
PEG(miralax, glycolax) -ADE- less GI
45
What lax stimulate this channel opening in intestine, inc liquid secretion, shorten transit time-produces diarrhea?
Cl channel activator-chronic constipation, IBS w/ constipation, OPioid non CA. ADE- NAUSEA, Preg C, LAST resort
46
Metoclopramide- ADE extrapyramidal effects d/t antagoinizes Dopamine
INC DDI d/t CYP3A4-ADE-GI issues. CY INDUCERS- DEC drug level, INHIB-INC Drug level
