Q

MOA of proton pump inhibitors

A

covalently bind to sulfhydryl groups of H+/K+ ATPase at parietal cell secretory sites –> inhibits gastric acid secretion by irreversibly inhibiting functioning “-ase” pumps
- inhibits 50%-90% acid secretion

22
Q

relative contraindications of PPIs

Study These Flashcards
A

pregnancy

  • pantoprazole can be used
  • lansoprazole only if necessary
  • try to avoid omeprazole
23
Q

MOA of sucralfate

Study These Flashcards
A

undergoes cross-linking from interaction w/ stomach acid –> creates a viscous, sticky polymer which adheres to epithelial cells around the ulcer’s crater –> prevents acid access to ulcer sites

may also:
stimulate local prostaglandin and mucous production and EGF (cytoprotection)

24
Q

does sucralfate affect pH

25
indications for sucralfate
duodenal ulcers, but also: - aphthous ulcers - mucositis/stomatitis - radiation proctitis/ulcers (enema) - bile reflux gastropathy
26
adverse effects sucralfate
constipation
27
relative contraindications sucralfate
severe renal failure
28
when should patients take sucralfate to avoid drug interactions
take 2 hours after other medications
29
normal frequency for taking sucralfate for active ulcers
QID
30
MOA misoprostol
it's a prostaglandin E1 analog - provides protective prostaglandin to the gastric mucosa and reduces gastric acid release from the parietal cells - also provides cytoprotection
31
how does misoprostol provide cytoprotection
increases mucosal defenses - stimulates bicarbonate and mucous production - increases mucosa blood flow
32
normal indications for misoprostol
prevention of NSAID-induced gastric ulceration in patients at high risk of ulcerations and complications
33
off-label uses for misoprostol
- w/ or w/o mifepristone for pregnancy termination - alone for cervical ripening - post-partum hemorrhaging
34
adverse effects misoprostol
- diarrhea | - headaches/dizziness
35
contraindications for misoprostol
- pregnancy (unless specifically for common, off label issues) - IBD
36
MOA bismuth compounds
believed to prevent microbial attachment to mucosa, possible inactivation of enterotoxins, and disruption of bacterial cell wall
37
compare uses of OTC and Rx bismuth compounds
OTC: used alone for reflux, indigestion, and diarrhea Rx: used in combination w/ antibiotics and acid suppressants for H. pylori
38
adverse effects bismuth compounds
- constipation | - black/dark stools
39
when should patients take bismuth compounds to avoid drug interactions
2 hours after other meds
40
relative contraindications for bismuth compounds absolute contraindications for bismuth compounds
relative: - antiplatelets and anticoags - severe renal failure absolute: - GI bleeding - salicylate hypersensitivity
41
what is important when treating for H. pylori
COMBINATION THERAPY :) - at least 2 antibiotics and an acid reducer (PPI or H2 blocker) - ACG recommendations - double therapy - triple therapy
42
describe triple therapy for treatment of H. pylori
duration: 14 days - all at BID dosing - PPI - clarithromycin - amoxicillin OR metronidazole
43
describe quadruple therapy for treatment of H. pylori
duration: 10-14 days - PPI at BID, all others at QID - PPI - metronidazole - tetracycline - bismuth subsalicylate
44
official ACG recommendations for treating H. pylori
10-14 days of triple drug regimen - PPI - clarithromycin - amoxicillin OR metronidazole
45
describe the Helidac (QID) treatment for peptic ulcer disease
- bismuth subsalicylate - metronidazole - tetracyline PLUS a PPI
46
describe the Pylera (3 capsules QID) treatment for peptic ulcer disease
- bismuth subcitrate potassium - metronidazole - tetracycline PLUS a PPI (omeprazole)
47
for complete healing of ulcers, what should you prescribe after 10-14 day H. pylori combo therapy
PPI therapy for several weeks
48
if there is failure of eradication w/ metronidazole containing triple therapy, what should be prescribed
a non-metronidazole containing quadruple therapy
49
how to alter treatment in H. pylori with penicillin allergy
substitute metronidazole with bismuth quadruple therapy
50
how to alter treatment in H. pylori with metronidazole resistance
substitute tetracycline and consider quadruple therapy w/ clarithromycin and amoxicillin
51
how to alter treatment in H. pylori with clarithromycin resistance
substitute either amoxicillin or tetracycline and consider bismuth quadruple therapy
52
treatment for pregnant patients with PUD without H. pylori
consider short course of antacids or sucralfate - moderate sx: consider ranitidine - severe sx: consider lansoprazole
53
compare treatment in patients with PUD if NSAID is required or not required
NSAID not required: acetaminophen and discontinue NSAID NSAID required: COX-2 NSAID and/or PPI or misoprostol
