Q

GERD pathophys

A
  • lower esophageal sphincter disorder (inappropriate relaxation, low resting tone, anatomical alteration)
  • acid hyper secretion (esp after meals)
  • decreased acid clearance due to impaired peristalsis or abnormal saliva production
  • delayed gastric emptying and/or duodenogastric reflux of bile salts and pancreatic enzymes

decrease GI secretion - present less fluid to colon

difference between loperamide and diphenoxylate / codeine sulfate

A

diphenoxylate and codeine sulfate combined with atropine which relaxes bowel smooth muscle
