Drugs that affect the Upper Gastrointestinal System
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Antacids(Acid Neutralizers) | Neurtalizes or reduces acidity of stomach and deuodenal contents by combining with HCI and increasing the pH of the stomach acid. |

Digoxin, isoniazid, phenytoin, and chlorpromazine: | decrease absorption of the interactant drugs, results in a decreased effect on those drugs. |
Tetracycline | decreases effectiveness of antiinfective |
Corticosteroids | decrease effectiveness of antiimflammatory properties. |
Salicylates | interact with pain reliever is excreted from urine rapidly |
Quinidine and amphetamines | Interactant drugs are excreted slowly from the urine. |

Aluminum carbonate treats: | hyperphosphatemia asso. with chronic renal failure. |
Calcium carbonate treats: | calcium deficiency, menopause, osteoprosis. |
Magnesium oxide treats: | malnutrition ETOH |
Sodium bicarbonate treats: | gout and kidney stones(makes urine less acidic) |
Histamine H2 antagonists(dine's): | inhibits the action of histamine at H2 receptor cells of stomach, which then reduces secretion of gastic acid. |
Histamine H2 antagonists treat: | heartburn, acid indigestion, sour stomach, GERD, gastic ulcer, gastic hypersecretory conditions. |
Adverse reactions H2: | dizziness,somnolence,headache,confustion,hallucinations,diarrhea, and reversible impotence. |
H2 antagonists contraindicated in patients: | with known hypersensitiviy to drugs. |
H2 antagonists used catiously in patients: | with renal or hepatic impairment, severly ill, elderly, or debilitated patients. |
Cimetidine used cautiously: | in patients with diabetes. |
H2 antagonists used with cation: | during pregnancy and lactation. |
Antacids and metoclorpramide: | decrease absorption of H2 antagonists. |
Carmustine: | decrease in WBC count. |
Opioid analgesics: | increased risk for respiratory depression. |
Oral anticoagulants: | increased risk for bleeding. |
Digoxin: | May decrease serum digoxin levels. |
Proton Pump inhibitors(zoles): | suppresses gastric acid screation by inhibition of hydrogen potassium adenosine triphosphatase enzyme of the gastric parietal cells. |
PPI'S used in: | treatment of gastric and duodenal ulcers, GERD, and erosice esohagitis, pathologic hypersecretory cond. |
Adverse reactions PPI'S: | headache,nausea,diarrhea,abd. pain. |
PPI's contraindicated in patients: | who are hypersensitive to any of drugs |
PPI's used cautiously in: | older adults and in patients with hepatic impairment. |
Omeprozole, Iansoprazole, rabeprazole, pantoprazole contraindicated: | during pregnancy and lactation. |
Sucralfate | decreases abs. of the PPI |
Ketoconazole and ampicillin: | decreased absorption of the anti-infective. |
Oral anticoagulants | increase risk for bleeding |
Digoxin | increased abs. of digoxin |
Benzodiazepines, phenytoin | risk for toxic level of antiseizure drugs |
Clarithromycin with omeprazole | risk for an increase in plasma levels of both drugs. |
Cholinergic blocking drugs: | reduces gastric motility and decreases the amt. of acid secreted by stomach. |
Pepsin inbibitor: | binds with protein molecules to form a ciscous substance which buffers acid and protects the mucosal lining. |
Prostaglandin drug: | reduces the risk of nonsteroidal anti inflammatory drug induced gastric ulcers in high risk patients. |
Gastrointestinal stimulants act to: | increase the motility of the upper GI tract w/o increasing the producation of scretions. |
Gastrointestinal stimulants used: | in treatment of GERD, gastirc stasis |
