Question
Answer
GI motility is controlled by what?   Enteric system: serotonin, dopamine, ANS (sympathetic/parasympathetic)  
🗑
Prokinetic agents are used for what? (increase peristalsis)   gastroparesis, GERD, postop ileus, constipation  
🗑
Cholinomimetics mimic Ach   Bethanchol, rarely used r/t multiple cholinergic SE, activates M3 which promotes GI motility, but secretes acid  
🗑
Metoclopramide   dopamine (D2) receptor antagonist SE: CNS-restlessness, drowsiness, EPS, coma  
🗑
Macrolides erythromycin IV 3mg/kg   rapid tolerance, increase GI motility, used for short term  
🗑
Bulk & Stimulant laxatives that stimulate GI motility?   Bulk forming - psyllium, methycellulose Osmotic - Magnesium hydroxide, magnesium citrate, sorbitol, lactulose, Stimulant - senna, bisacodyl  
🗑
Drugs that incrase GI motility?   Cholinomimetics, Metoclopramide, Macrolides, Bulk & Stimulant laxatives  
🗑
Bethancol   Cholinomimetics that stimulate GI motility and activate M3 secreting acid, used rarely b/c SE  
🗑
This med is a dopamine (D2) receptor antagonist with SE of CNS-restlessness, drowsiness, EPS, coma and increase GI motility?   Metoclopramide  
🗑
What is erythromycin?   macrolide ABX, rapid tolerance, increase GI motility, used for short term  
🗑
Tegaserod   increase GI motility, serotonin 5HT4 partial agonist, used for IBS-C, serious CV SE r/t interaction w/K+channels and serotonin receptor subtype = QT prolongation=arrhythmia

🗑
What are the Stimulant laxatives that promote GI motility?   Senna and Bisacodyl  
🗑

🗑
increase peristalsis, stimulate enteric system, fluid secretion   Stimulate laxatives: senna, bisacodyl  
🗑
What do osmotic laxatives do?   stimulate GI motility  
🗑
Magnesium citrate/hydroxide are what?   osmotic laxatives, can cause hypermagensamia so be careful with renal disease pts.  
🗑
Sorbital   class 3 potassium sparing anti-arrhythmic, osmotic laxative, non-absorbable sugar that may be metabolize by gut bacteria causing flatus (gas)  
🗑
Lactulose   reduce ammonia levels, osmotic laxative, non-absorbable sugar that may be metabolize by gut bacteria causing flatus (gas)  
🗑
Psyllium, methycellulose   bulk forming laxative, stimulate GI motility, indigestible colloids that absorb water to distend colon and promote peristalsis  
🗑
