GERD Medications
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Proton Pump Inhibitor | decrease HCl acid secretion by inhibiting the proton pump responsible for the secretion of H and decrease irritation of the esophageal and gastric mucosa |
| Histamine (H2)-Receptor Blockers | Blocks the action of histamine on the H2 receptors to decrease HCl acid secretion, decrease conversion of pepsinogen to pepsin, and irritation of the esophageal and gastric mucosa |
| Prokinetic Agents | Blocks effect of dopamine, increases gastric mobility and emptying, and reduces reflux |
| Antiulcer, Protectants | Acts to form a protective layer and serves as a barrier against acid, bile salts, and enzymes in the stomach |
| Cholinergic | Increases LES pressure, improves esophageal emptying, and increases gastric emptying |
| Antacids, Acid Neutralizers | Neutralizes HCl acid and is taken 1-3 hours after meals and at bedtime |
| Prostaglandin (Synthetic) | Protects lining of the stomach, increases production of gastric mucus and mucosal secretion of bicarbonate, and decreases HCl acid secretion |
| Dexlansoprazole (Dexilant) | proton pump inhibitor |
| Esomeprazole (Nexium) | proton pump inhibitor |
| Lansoprazole (Prevacid) | proton pump inhibitor |
| Omeprazole (Prilosec) | proton pump inhibitor |
| Pantoprazole (Protonix) | proton pump inhibitor |
| Rabeprazole (AcipHex) | proton pump inhibitor |
| Cimetidine (Tagamet) | Histamine (H2)- receptor blocker |
| Famotidine (Pepcid) | Histamine (H2)- receptor blocker |
| Nizatidine (Axid) | Histamine (H2)- receptor blocker |
| Ranitidine (Zantac) | Histamine (H2)- receptor blocker |
| Metoclopramide (Reglan) | Prokinetic agent |
| Sucralfate (Carafate) | Antiulcer, protectant |
| Bethanechol (Urecholine) | Cholinergic |
| Aluminum carbonate (Basaljel) | single substance antacid, acid neutralizer |
| Aluminum hydroxide (Amphojel) | single substance antacid, acid neutralizer |
| Calcium carbonate (Tums, Tiralac) | single substance antacid, acid neutralizer |
| Magnesium oxide (MagOx) | single substance antacid, acid neutralizer |
| Sodium bicarbonate (Alka-Seltzer) | single substance antacid, acid neutralizer |
| Sodium citrate (Bicitra) | single substance antacid, acid neutralizer |
| Gelusil, Maalox, Mylanta, Aludrox aluminum/magnesium trisilicate (Gaviscon) | Aluminum and Magnesium antacid, acid neutralizer |
| Misoprostol (Cytotec) | Prostaglandin (synthetic) |
