🗑
what is metoclopramide, what is the brand, why isn't it used often, what could it be used for   promotility agent-a dopamine antagonist, increase LES pressure in a dose related manner and accelerates gastric emptying. NOT IMPROVE ESPOHAGEAL CLEARANCE. Tachyphylaxis and ADRs limit its usefulness.  
🗑
When would a promotility agent be used and why not used often in GERD? w   promotility agents may be useful as adjuncts to acid suppression therapy in patients with know motility defects ( LES incompetence, decreased esophageal clearance, delayed gastric emptying).Not as effective as acid suppression therapy and >SE  
🗑
When might a drug with Zegerid be used and what should you be concerned with, what is it made of?   it is a combination product containing omeprazole 20 to 40 mg with sodium bicarbonate in immediate release oral capsules and powder for oral suspension.

🗑
How should patients be instructed to take PPI's   in the morning 15 to 30 mins before breakfast to maximize efficacy because these agents inhibit only actively secreting proton pumps.  
🗑
which PPI's have most side effects and interactions   omeprazole and esomeprazole  
🗑
how do PPIs work   by blocking gastric acid secretion by inhibiting hydrogen potassium ATPase in gastric parietal cells, works systemically and not in the stomach before absorbed  
🗑
what are some nonpharmacologic treatments of GERD   elevate bed, drink WATER, use wedge pillow, eat small meals, include protein rish meals to augment lower esophageal sphinter pressure, avoid fats, chocolate, alcohol,spicy, OJ, stop smoking, wear loose cloths, loose weight  
🗑
which foods decrease lower esophageal shinter pressure   fatty meals, carminative (peppermint, spearmint), chocolate, coffee, cola, tea, garlic, onions, chili peppers  
🗑
which medications decrease the lower esophageal sphinter pressure   anticholinergics, barbiturates, caffeine, dihydropyridine, calcium channel blockers, dopamine, estrogen, ethanol, nicotine, smoking, nitrates, progesterone, tetracycline, theophylline  
🗑
which medications cause direct irritation to the esophageal mucosa   aspirin, bisphosphates (alendronate), NSAIDS, IRON, quinidine, potassium chloride  
🗑
which foods are contributed to being direct irritants of esophageal mucoas   spicy foods, orange juice, tomato juice, and coffee  
🗑
which foods are both irriants and decrease lower esophageal sphicter pressure   coffee, spicy food (chili peppers)  
🗑
which drugs are helpful in esophageal clearance   she says nothing really but oked the bethanechol  
🗑
which drugs are helpful in gastric emptying   metoclopramide  
🗑
which drugs are effective in increasing LES pressure   bethanechol and metoclopromide  
🗑
which drugs are effective in decrease gastric acid   antacids, H2 receptor antagonist, and PPIS  
🗑
when should the patients seek medical attention when on OTC selftreatment   if symtoms are unrelieved with lifestyle modifications adn nonprescription medications after 2 weeks  
🗑
how should antacids be dosed, MOA, side effects, common products, interactions and conseling points   provide immediate, symptomatic relief for mild GERD. the increase urinary pH, bind with other drugs. should take two tablets four times daily after meals and at bedtime but cannot be maintained with BT dose. Make sure an space out  
🗑
what is gaviscon and how does it work   an antacid with alginic acid that is not a potent acid neutralizing agent, but does form a viscous solution that floats on the surface of the gastric contents. No longer effective after the patient lays down  
🗑
key couseling points are on GERD therapy are   tell patient not going to work right away, Can use antacids along with PPIs but should be spread out  
🗑
when should maintence therapy be considered to prevent complications and worseing of esophageal function   in patients who have symptomatic relapse after discontinuation of therapy or dosage reduction, including patients with complications such as barrett's esophagus, strictures, or hemorrhage  
🗑
when is on demand therapy effective   patients with endoscopy negative GERD  
🗑
what is the side effects of magnesium   diarrhea
