🗑
sensory organ signals?   upsetting sights, bad odors, pain  
🗑
what are antimetic drugs?   drugs that decrease nausea, reduce the urge to vomit  
🗑
what are the receptors for emetic response?   serotonin, dopamine, glucocorticoids, histamine, muscarinic sholinergics, substance p, neurokinin  
🗑
what do antacids do?   neutralize stomach acid  
🗑
how is an antacid absorbed and eliminated?   absorbed through the GI tract and eliminated in the feces  
🗑
what are the side effects of taking antacids?   constipation, diarrhea, they are sodium loading  
🗑
because antacids are sodium loading, who cannot take them?   heart failure patients and renal failure patients  
🗑
can antacids be taken in combination with other drugs?   yes, but absorption of some drugs can be reduced, so take them 2 hours apart  
🗑
which antacid causes diarrhea?   milk of Mag  
🗑
types of antacids?   sodium bicarbonate, milk of mag, calcium carbonate, aluminum hydroxide  
🗑
when and how should you take antacids for them to be effective?   7x/day, 1 hr before - 3 hrs after each meal and before bed  
🗑
what do anti ulcer drugs do?   they destroy h-pylori, restore the balance between acid and pepsin and the GI mucosal defense  
🗑
what are major causes of peptic ulcers?   h.pylori, NSAIDS, Zollinger--Ellison syndrome, smoking, 20-50% genetic  
🗑
which causes of PUD cause Hypersecretion/ hypersecretory state which inpairs healing?   smoking, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome  
🗑
what is H pylori?   G- bacteria and a major cause of peptic ulcers and gastritis  
🗑
What is the Proton pump?   an integral membrane protein that is capable of moving protons across a membrane, creates ATPase enzyme  
🗑
what are PPI's used for   active suodenal ulcers, short term treatment of gastric ulcers, erosive esophagitis, symptomatic GERD, peptic ulccers in combo with antibiotics, Zollinger Ellison syndrome
