Term
omeprazole
Definition
Class: suppress gastric acid, PPI

Mechanism: inhibit H/K ATPase, prodrug (absorbed, to parietal cell, in canaliculi, acid activates), binds irreversibly to -SH group

Indication: promote healing of gastric ulcers, GERD, hypersecretory dz (Zollinger-Ellison synd), reduce risk of duodenal ulcer recurrence assoc. w/ H. pylori

Adverse Effects: hypergastrinemia (trophic factor), decreased B12 absortion, INHIBITION OF CSOME CYP450 (warfarin, phenytoin, benzos, increased), acid rebound

Pharmacokinetics: half life 1-2hr, duration of action 24-48 (req. pump resynthesis), hepatic oxidative metabolism by CYP2C19 and CYP3A4, renal excretion of metabolites
Term
cimtidine
Definition
Class: suppress gastric acid

Mechanism: H2R antagonist, reversible binding, suppress basal acid secretion of parietal cells

Effects: most effective against nocturnal secretion, also (less) effective against acid stimulated by feeding, dose related effects,

Indication: promote healing of gastric and duodenal ulcers, uncomplicated GERD, prophylaxis of stress ulcers (ICU)

Adverse Effects: gynecomastia, impotence (displaces DHT), inhibits P450 metabolism of estrogen; tolerance, acid rebound

Drug Interactions: HUGE inhibition of P450

Pharmacokinetics: onset 1hr, peak 1-3hr, duration 6-10hr
Term
misoprostol
Definition
Class: suppress gastric acid

Mechanism: PGE analog, binds EP3 receptors on parietal cells and inhibit acid secretion [MAIN EFFECT]; stimulates secretion of mucin and bicarb (cytoprotective), increases mucosal blood flow; PRODRUG

Indication: prevention of NSAID ulcers

Adverse Effects: diarrhea (30%), exacerbation of IBD, can induce abortions

Pharmacokinetics: extensive first-pass esterification to ACTIVE METABOLITE, onset 30min, peak 6-90min, duration 3hr, renal elimination, t1/2 20-40min
Term
sucralfate
Definition
Class: mucosal protectant

Mechanism: sulfated polysaccharide with aluminum hydroxide, cross-links in acidic pH and yields viscous sticky polymer that adheres to epithelial cells and ulcer craters, prevents hydrolysis of mucosal proteins by pepsin

Indication: (not used for peptic ulcer anymore), inflammatory conditions that don't respond to PPI, stress ulcers

Adverse effects: constipation (2%), interfere with gastric absorption of drugs
Term
sodium bicarbonate
Definition
Class: antacid

Mechanism: neutralize acid, raise gastric pH from 1 to 3.5

Benefits: highly effective, inexpensive

Disadvantages: short duration, deliver 12mEq of sodium per gram, causes alkalosis with excessive use, produces CO2 (gas)
Term
calcium carbonate
Definition
Class: antacid

Mechanism: neutralize acid, raise gastric pH from 1 to 3.5

Benefits: rapid onset, long (30min) duration, provides calcium

Disadvantages: locally (constipation, acid rebound, gas), systemic (elevated plasma calcium concentrate, alkalosis)
Term
magnesium hydroxide
Definition
Class: antacid

Mechanism: neutralize acid, raise gastric pH from 1 to 3.5

Disadvantages: local (diarrhea), systemic (increase plasma Mg in patients with impaired renal fx --> CNS toxicity)
Term
aluminum hydroxide
Definition
Class: antacid

Mechanism: neutralize acid, raise gastric pH from 1 to 3.5

Disadvantages:
local (constipation)
systemic w/ chronic use/renal impairment (neurotoxic from high Al-, myopathy weakness)
systemic w/ chronic use/nml kidneys (reduce phosphate reabsorption in gut, lower plasma phosphate --> mobilization of bone --> weaken bones)
Term
magnesium-aluminum combination
Definition
Class: antacid

Mechanism: neutralize acid, raise gastric pH from 1 to 3.5

"Benefits": neutralize acid with fewer side effects, constipation and diarrhea should cancel

Disadvantages: still see C/D, exposure to Mg and Al, even bigger problem if renal fx decreased
Term
domperidone
Definition
Class: prokinetic

Mechanism: D2 receptor antagonist, enhances ACh release at GI muscle by blocking DA's inhibition of ACh release, inhibits emesis via CTZ in CNS and stomach

Indication: gastroparesis (delayed gastric emptying), N and V from dysmotility

Adverse Effects: may enhance prolactin release
Term
metoclopamide
Definition
Class: prokinetic, antiemetic

Mechanism: 5HT4R agonist, 5HT3R antagonist D2R antagonists; increases tone of LES, ++ antral and small intestine contractions, facilitates gastric emptying, no affect on lower GI motility; anti-emetic via block D2R in CTZ

Indication: gastroparesis (delayed gastric emptying), postop ileus (bowel obstruction), N and V from GI dysmotility

Adverse Effects: extrapyramidal effects (inhibition of D2 in CNS), tardive dyskinesia (repetitive movements)
Term
diphenhydramine
Definition
Class: antiemetic

Mechanism: H1R antagonist, depresses labyrinth (inner ear) excitability (@ brainstem)

Indication: motion sickness

Adverse Effects: CNS depression
Term
ondansetron
Definition
Class: antiemetic

Mechanism: 5HT3R antagonist selective, blocks receptors in CTZ

Indication: N&V of chemo/radiation, post-op N&V

Adverse Effects: allergy, constipation, diarrhea, fever, HA

Pharmacokinetics: hepatic elim, t1/2 6hrs, longer duration
Term
marijuana (dronabinol)
Definition
Class: antiemetic

Mechanism: CB1 agonist, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), stimulates receptors in or around emesis center,

Indication: emesis, stimulation of appetite in AIDS and anorexia

Adverse Effects: central sympathomimetic (tachycardia, conjunctival injection), highs, paranoid reactions, abstinence syndrome (irritable, insomnia, restlessness)

Pharmacokinetics: highly lipid soluble, active and inactive metabolites (long peresistance), readily absorbed p.o., extensive first-pass, highly ppb, large Vd
Term
blemuth
Definition
Class: antidiarrheal

Mechanism: subsalicylate suspened in mix of magnesium aluminum silicate clay, in stomach acid forms bismuth oxychloride and salicylic acid, bismuth travels through intestins, but SA absorbed, "anti-secretory, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial"

Indication: diarrhea, traveler's diarrhea, H. pylori combo treatment

Adverse Effects: blackens stool, darken tongue (due to rxn with bacterial sulfides);
Term
loperamide
Definition
Class: antidiarrheal, opioid

Mechanism: mu R --> decrease intestinal motility, delta R --> decrease intestinal secretion, mu and delta Rs --> increase intestinal absorption; 50x more effective than morphine for diarrhea, poor CNS penetration

Indication: OTC diarrhea tx

Adverse Effects: OD --> CNS depression, children more sensitive to CNS effects

Contraindication: active IBD in colon
Term
anthraquinones
Definition
Class: laxative

Sources: aloe, rhubarb, cacara segrada, senna

Term
dephenylmethanes

Adverse Effects: bowel inflammation,
Term
what determines efficacy of antacid
Definition
particle size
tablets less effective than liquids
Term
drug interactions of antacid
Definition
increases dissolution and absorption of weak bases
increases dissolution of enteric coatings
decreases absorption of drugs (penicillin, tetracycline)
alters urinary excretion of drugs (alteration of urinary pH)
Term
treatment for H. pylori infection
Definition
PPI or H2 antagonist + amox + clarithromycin + metronidazole

PPI + tetracycline + bismuth subsalicylate + metronidazole

7d treatment course
Term
erythromycin (GI drug)
Definition
Class: prokinetic, motilin-mimetic

Mechanism: mimics motillin, enhances gastric emptying by increase in coordinated contractility of smooth muscle of upper GI, no significant effect on lower GI

Indication: diabetic gastroparesis, ileus (high doses)
