GORD Flashcards

1
Q

Management of GORD

A
  1. Reduce/suppress gastric acid secretion
  2. Mucosal protection (barrier)
  3. Neutralizing gastric acid
  4. Eradicate H. Pylori

Q

Proton pump inhibitors mechanism

A

-prazole’s

  • irreversible inhibition of H+/K+ ATPase enzyme (proton pump)
  • suppress H+ ions into lumen

Omeprazole: only one that has significant drug interactions (inhibits CYP450) - toxic side effects from other drugs

Q

PPI side effects

A
  • hypomagnesemia (in prolonged use
  • risk of fractures and osteoporosis (incomplete absorption of calcium carbonate)
  • clostridium difficile associated diarrhea NB
  • prevent B12 absorbtion (acid required for absorbtion) -> anemia

Q

H2 receptor antagonists

A

Reversibly binds H2 receptors in parietal cells of stomach

-gastric acid secretion response to other secretagogues also reduced
(Food, caffeine, Ach, gastrin)

  • nocturnal acid hypersecretion: useful
  • or in people allergic to PPI’s

Q

Sucralfate

A

Mucosal protective agent

  • sucrose hydrogen sulphat-aluminum complex

Q

H. Pylori eradication

A

Triple therapy
-7-14d regimen

1. PPI (for 1mo)
Any two of following:
-clarithromycin 500mg bd
-amoxicillin 1g bd
Metronidazole 400mg bd
Levofloxacin if resistant to clarithromycin

PPI CI - then use ranitidine + bismuth
