CLASSDRUGMOAADRSNOTES
Bulk forming laxatives - constipation Plant derived: Metamucil (psyllium), methylcellulose (citrucel), Synthetic: polycarbophil (fibercon) indigestible, hydrophilic colliods that absorb water to form a gel that slides down the colon esophageal/GI obstruction takes days to work, no used for rapid relief, must maintain hydration to avoid obstruction, calcium formations decrease drug absorption
Stool softeners (surfactant agents) - constipation Docustate (colace), Mineral oil (milkinol) Docusate- increase water and lipids to penetrate colon Mineral oil- lubes poop both make it easier to go and cause less straining cramping, diarrhea, nausea Docusate - relief within days, used for prophylaxis, DO NOT USE in pts under 2 y/o Mineral oil - relief within hours, has risk of aspirations (pill into lungs), so avoid laying down
Osmotic laxitives - constipation Mag hydroxide (MoM), mag citrate, sod phosphate (fleet edema), PEG (MiraLAX), lactulose, lacitol (pizensy) soluble, non-absorbable compounds that draw water into stool PEG/sodium phosphate can be used for cleaning Severe flatulence, electrolyte disturbance (Mg/Na products), CAUTION with CV risk, pregnant and pts under 2 years old MoM: risk of hypermag in renal insuff. pts not in PEG works fast, within hours,
Stimulant laxatives - constipation Natural: Senna (Ex-lax, senokot), castor oil, Synthetic: Bisacodyl (dulcolax) Increase water and electrolytes in small intestine fluid, decrease water pulled from stool in large intestine Antacids may diminish therapeutic efficacy of bisacodyl Brown pigmentation of the colon with long term use of natural products
Chloride channel activator - constipation/IBS-C Lubiprostone (amitiza) mimics prostglandin, activates type-2 chloride channels, secreting more Cl into intestines, cause bowl movement within 24 hours delayed gastric emptying IBS-C women
Guanylate cyclase - C agonists - constipation/IBS-C Linaclotide (linzess), peclanatide agonists at guenylate cyclase - C to increase cGMP, activating CTFR to releae mroe CL into intestines BOWED WARNING: dehydration in pediatric pts increase bowels movements per week by 1-2 , IBS-C adults in general
Opioid receptor antagonists - constipation Alvimopan (entereg), methylnaltrexone, naloxegol, naldemedine Intestinal opioid receptor antagonists, decrease water absorption in intestines Alvimopan BOXED WARNING: Myocardial infarction Alvimopan: caution with renal or hepatic dysfunction
Opioid agonists - diarrhea Loperamide (Diamode; Imodium)​, Diphenoxylate + atropine (Lomotil)​, Difenoxin + atropine (Motofen) Decreases Ach and 5HT release, prolongs transit time, increase intestines fluid absorption, increase anal sphincter tone ATROPINE: antimuscarinic (anticholiniergic GI effect) anti SLUD (DUMBELLS) constipation, cramps, nausea No analgesic effects, CNS effects with high doses and prolonged use has addiction risk
Colloid bismuth compounds - diarrhea -antisecretory Bismuth subsalicylate (pepto), bismuth subcitrate potassium (aspirin allergy) Protective layer against acid and pepsin, inhibits intestinal prostaglandin and chloride secretion (opposite of our consitpation drug), improves consistency harmless blackening of tongue of stool, tinnitus avoid in pts with renal insufficiency
Octretide - antisecretory - diarrhea Octreotide (sandostatin) somatostatin analog -inhibits gastrin secretion low doses reduce small bowel motility and delay emptying time high doses inhibit gastric emptying and colonic motility fat soluble vitamin deficiency, abdominal pain, nausea, flatulence, gallstones, bradycardia, hormone imbalance with prolonged treatment once monthly IM depot, SQ 6-12 hours half life, IV 1.5 hours
Bile salt-binding resins - bile acid sequestrants - diarrhrea Cholestyramine (Prevalite; Questran)​, Colestipol (Colestid)​, Colesevelam (Welchol)​ sequestrants that trap bile inside the intestine via charged interactions, increase excretion of bile acids fecal impaction, const, flat, bloat lower serum cholesterol, may bind and reduce absorption/availability of many other drugs
Anticholinergics/antispasmodics - IBS Dicyclomine (Bentyl)​, Hyoscyamine (Levsin) muscarinic ACh receptor antagonists in smooth muscle high doses, antiSLUD effects (they are anticholinergics) used to treat IBS stomach (abdominal) pain
Serotonin-3 receptor antagonists - IBS Alosetron (lotronex) (other 5-HT3 are only anytinausea) Potent selective 5-HT3 receptor antagonists, inhibition of visceral afferent pain sensation, inhibits colon motility BOXED WARNINGS for GI toxicities, constipation and ischemic colitis CI: in severe hepatic impairment used for severe IBS-D in women
Opioid agonists - IBS - D Eluxadoline MOR/KOR agonists, reduces abdominal pain and prolong transit time constipation, ab cramps, pancreaitis used for IBS-D in adults and children
Sodium/hydrogen exchanger 3 inhibitor Tenapanor (Ibsrela) NHE3 inhibitor, decrease GI absorption of Na, increase gut Na and water to loosen stool BOXED WARNING: dehydration risk in pediatric patients, avoid in patients younger than 12, CI below 6 used or IBS-C in adults
