Question
Answer
Aggressive Factors in PUD   Acid and Pepsin Secretion  
🗑
Protective Factors in PUD   Mucus, Bicarbonate, Mucosal blood flow, cell restitution, prostaglandins  
🗑
____ percent of patients infected with H. pylori will develop an ulcer   15-20%  
🗑
Two mechanisms of injury with NSAIDs   Direct action on the mucosa, Inhibition of prostaglandins  
🗑
Big difference between Gastric and duodenal ulcer   Gastric - food worsens pain; Duodenal Ulcer - pain relieved by food.  
🗑
___ ulcers are harder to heal   Gastric. Biggest compication is gastric carcinoma. Most gastric ulcers are biopsied to rule out cancer. Most duodenal ulcers are not biopsied (duodenal ulcers are more common and easier to treat)  
🗑
Neutralizes acid, inhibiting pepsinogen to pepsin, and may bind bile salts   Antacids. When used at proper doses (8oz bottle/day), they are equally efficacious as H2 blockers. Tablets are not as potent as suspensions  
🗑
Onset of action of Antacids   5-15 minutes after administration. Short duration (1-2 hours). Often used in combo w/ other agents  
🗑
Non-systemic antacids   Aluminum Hydroxide, Magnesium Hydroxide, Calcium Carbonate, Al/Mg combinations  
🗑
Systemic Antacids   Sodium Bicarbonate (Alka-Seltzer)  
🗑
AE of Aluminum Hydroxide (Amphojel)   Constipation and aluminum toxicity in renal pts  
🗑
Major AE of Magnesium Hydroxide -Milk of Magnesia   Diarrhea. Magnesium can also accumulate in renal pts  
🗑
___ Is an antacid that binds dietary phosphate and causes constipation (also a good source of calcium)   Calcium Carbonate - Tums  
🗑
Alka Seltzer   come back to  
🗑
Efficacy of H2 Blockers   heals 90% of DU at 8 weeks and 80% of GU at 12 weeks  
🗑
H2 requires dose adjustment in which populations?   renal insufficiency  
🗑
Block gastric acid secretion by inhibiting gastric H/K ATPase in gastric parietal cells.   Proton Pump Inhibitors. Produces profound, long-lasting antisecretory effect. Knocks out all three acid production pathways  
🗑
PPI and Plavix   decreased acidity with PPI decreases efficacy of Plavix (Omeprazole is the worst)  
🗑
PPI advantage over H2 blockers   Heals faster and they are part of the H. pylori treatment regiment.  
🗑
Comparative efficacy between PPIs   Same; no head to head studies. But patients will prefer one over another.  
🗑
Forms cytoprotective complex that covers ulcer site. Mucosal PG synthesis and inhibit pepsin. Has lots of drug interactions.   Sucralfate (carafate). Indicated for tx of and maintenance of DU only. Causes constipation  
🗑
This drug is preferred in ventilated patients (especially over H2blockers which has been associated with more aspiration pneumonia). PILL IS HUGE   Sucralfate. Useful in patients with H2Blocker thrombocytopenia  
🗑
A synthetic prostaglandin that increases mucus production and mucosal bicarb. Indicated for NSAID induced gastric ulcers   Misoprostol (cytotec)  
🗑
AE's of Misoprostol   Diarrhea (40% or higher, but this is dose related)!!! Abdominal Pain, flatulence abortifacient  
🗑
Antiulcer agent/Prostaglandin that induces abortion   Misoprostol  
🗑
PPI in tx of H. pylori   BID, 2-4 weeks longer than abx (can use once a day after end of abx)  
🗑
Tx of H. pylori   MOC AOCMetronidazole, Omeprazole, Clarithromycin, Amoxicillin, Omeprazole, Clarithromycin. All regimens are 10-14 days  
🗑
Which tx regimen should be taken for H. pylori infection in penicillin allergic patients?   Metronidazole, Clarithromycin and a PPI (ex: omeprazole)  
🗑
Protective Forces in GERD   LES pressure, Esophageal clearance, Esophageal mucosal defense, Gastric emptying  
🗑
Complications of GERD   Esophageal ulceration, Esophageal stricture, hemorrhage, Barett's esophagus, Pulmonary Complications (bronchoconstriction, cough)  
🗑
Cisapride AEs and cause of withdrawl from the market   Drug interactions, torsades de pointe  
🗑
Meds to increase LES pressure   Bethanechol, metoclopramide  
🗑
Med used to increase gastric emptying in GERD   Metoclopramide  
🗑
Med Used to increase esophageal clearance   Bethanechol  
🗑
Esophageal healing in GERD with PPI compared to H2blockers   Esophageal healing is about double with PPI compared to H2blockers  
🗑
Combination therapy in GERD   PPI plus a promotility agent, or H2blocker plus a promotility agent  
🗑
Tx Key in GERD   Maintenance therapy is key. Up to 90% of pts with severe esophagitis will relapse after stopping meds  
🗑
Causes of N/V   Fluid and electrolyte abnormalities, Drug-induced (chemo, abx, etc), GI obstruction, Metabolic disorders (DM, Uremia), Neurological process, Drug withdrawal, Pregnancy, Anxiety  
🗑
Neuropharmacology of Emesis   Visceral Stimuli, Chemoreceptor Trigger zone, Vestibular Input
