Term
(Pathogenesis)
What are the four defensive factors associated with PUD?
Definition
-Mucus:protects cells from pepsin and acid
-Bicarbonate:Neutralizes h+ ions which penetrate mucous
-Blood flow:maintains mucousal integrity
-**Prostagladins:stimulate secretion of mucus and bicarbonate ions and promote vasodilation
Term
(Pathogenesis)
What are the five aggressive factors associated with PUD?
Definition
-Helicobacter Pylori:60-75% in ppl with PUD (MO: urea is converted to CO2 & NH4 by urease)
-NSAIDS: underlying cause for gastric and some duodenal ulcers
-Gastric Acid: activates pepsin(proteolytic enzyme)
-Pepsin
-Smoking:delays healing and increases recurrence
Term
What are the three goals of PUD treatment?
Definition
1.Alleviate Symptoms
2.Promote Healing
3.Prevent Complications
Term
What are the four classes of drugs used in PUD treatment?
Definition
1. Antibiotics
2.Antisecretory: histamine receptor antagonists and proton pump inhibitors
3.Mucosal Protectants
4.Antacids
Term
In what ways do drugs promote ulcer healing?
Definition
1. Rid H.Pylori
2. Reduce Gastric acidity
3.Enhance mucosal defenses
Term
What is the preferred treatment for a +60 pt with hx of ulcers, taking high-dose NSAIDs?
Definition
Histamine2 receptor Antagonists & Proton Pump Inhibitors
Term
What four tests are performed to detect H. Pylori?
Definition
1.Endoscopic Biopsy
2. Breath:urea + urease = CO2 by product
3.Serologic tests
4. Stool Tests
Term
Bismuth
Definition
-MO: topical to distrupt cell wall
-SE: black tongue and stool
Term
Clarithromysin(Biaxin)
Definition
-MO:works w/in the cell to distrupt protein synthesis
-SE: taste distortion, GI upset

DOC Antibiotic H. Pylori induced PUD
Term
Amoxicillin
Definition
-MO:distrupts cell wall
-Works best at neutral pH

DOC H.Pylori induced PUD
Term
Tetracycline
Definition
-MO:works w/in the cell to disrupt protein synthesis

-SE: discoloration of developing teeth
Contraindicated in pregnant, children < 6 yrs old AND photosensitivity
Term
Metronidazole
Definition
-effective with sensitive strains
-40% are resistant
-SE:severe N&V when taken with alcohol
Term
What are the characteristics of the antibiotic regimine?
Definition
- should include 2 antibiotics and 1 anti secretory
-14 days of therapy to eradicate
Term
What is the DOC for gastric and duodenal ulcers and what is the MO?
Definition
Histamine-2 Receptor Antagonists

-MO: block receptors which stimule gastric acid secretion, reducing gastric juice and h+ ion concentration
Term
Cimetidine(Tagamet)
Uses?

SE?

Drug-Interactions?
Definition
-Gastric and Duodenal ulcers
-GERD
-Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome

-SE: CNS(elderly with renal or hepatic impairment), Pneumonia(increased risk of colonization)

-Interactions: inhibits Cytochrome P450 enzymes
Term
Ranitidine
Definition
-Similar to Cimetidine
-More potent, fewer SE & D-I's
Term
Ranitidine Bismuth Citrate
Definition
Only for duodenal associated with H. Pylori, walys with clarithromycin

-ranitidine supresses gastric secretions and bismuth kills h pylori
Term
What h-2 blocker meds are similar to ranitidine?
Definition
Nizatidine(Axid) & Famotidine(Pepcid)
Term
What is the MO and indicated use of PPI's?
Definition
MO: irreversible inhibition of gastric acid generating enzyme

Indications: Gastric,Duodenal, and GERD
Term
Omeprazole(Prilosec)
Definition
-PO,before meals

-short term for ulcers and GERD

-Long term for hypersecretory conditions
Term
Esomeprazole(Nexium), Lansoprazole(Prevacid), Pantoprazole (Protonix
Definition
- Esome: S-isomer of omeprazole

SIMILAR TO OMEPRAZOLE (PRILOSEC)

PPI's!
Term
Rabeprazole(Aciphex)
Definition
-Similar to Omeprazole

-MO: REVERSIBLE inhibition of acid generating enzyme

-DI: increases digoxin levels by 20%
Term
What are the three "other" Anti-ulcer Drugs?
Definition
Misoprostol, Antacids, and Sucralfate
Term
Sucralfate
Definition
-"other" anti-ulcer drug

-MO: promotes healing by creating protective barrier against acid and pepsin

-May alter other drug absorption
Term
Misoprostol(Cytotec)
Definition
-PO

-MO: supress gastric secretion, promote bicarbonate and mucus, maintain blood flow

-Indication: use for long-term NSAID induced ulcers

Contraindicated with Pregnancy
Term
Antacids
Definition
Indications: PUD and GERD
-MO: raises pH ,symptom relief only
-SE: constipation and diarrhea, high Na concentration may exacerbate hypertension nad heart failure
Term
What are the four major groups of antacids?
Definition
1. Al
2. Mg **Constipation**

3. Ca
4. Na **hypertension/HF**
