Cimetidine
H2 Antagonist - GI - used to reduce gastric acid production by parietal cells of the GI tract. Used to treat GERD. Suppresses cyp450, so increases the conc of other drugs, especially Cimetidine

H2 Antagonist - GI - used to reduce gastric acid production by parietal cells of the GI tract. Used to treat GERD. Suppresses cyp450, so increases the conc of other drugs, especially Cimetidine
Famotadine (Pepcid)
H2 Antagonist - GI - used to reduce gastric acid production by parietal cells of the GI tract. Used to treat GERD. Suppresses cyp450, so increases the conc of other drugs, especially Cimetidine

Mast Cell Stabilizer - doesn't work on receptors, inhibits histamine secretion, but doesn't inhibit directly. prevents the release of histamine from mast cells. used in Tx of asthma (prophylactic) and allergic rhinitis. Adverse effects include cough and bitter taste making patient compliance poor. Drug of choice for Chronic inflammation
Nedocromil
Mast Cell Stabilizer - doesn't work on receptors, inhibits histamine secretion, but doesn't inhibit directly. prevents the release of histamine from mast cells. used in Tx of asthma (prophylactic) and allergic rhinitis. Adverse effects include cough and bitter taste making patient compliance poor. Drug of choice for Chronic inflammation
Histamine
An endogenous biogenic amine which is synthesized, stored, and released from 1) Mast Cells - abundant in skin, GI tract, and reap tract and will trigger anaphylactic rxn, inflammation, and immune response. 2) Basophils - abundant in the blood. 3) Neurons - of both CNS & PNS
H1 receptors
Distributed in bronchial smooth muscle, intestinal smooth muscle, vascular endotheliium, cardiac tissue, and CNS
H2 receptors
Distributed in the vascular smooth muscle, cardiac tissue, basophils, and parietal cells
H3 receptors
Distributed non uniformly throughout the CNS
H4 receptors
Expressed within the bone marrow and white blood cells
Pathological effects of histamine
mild cutaneous response involves erythema, urticaria, and/or itching.
Mild to moderate Sx: skin rxn, tachy, dysrhythmias, hypotension, mild resp distress
severe anaphylactic rxn: hypersensitivity rxn, hypotension, v-fib, cardiac arrest, bronchospasms, resp arrest
histamine vascular effects
dilation of small blood vessels (H1 and 2 - reason for hypotension), increased permeability of post capillary venules (H1 - leads to edema)
Triple response from indradermal injection: localized red spot extending 1-2mm appearing within seconds due to vasodilation (inc blood flow), Flare (brighter red flush) develops more slowly, extending 1 cm beyond initial spot due to reflexive vasodilation, and Wheal is discernable in 1-2min at initial site of injection as a result of increased cap permeability (move of fluid and protein both ways). moves from local and propagates out.
Histamine cardiac effects
increased isotropy H1 and 2
increased chronotropy H2
Decreased AV conduction H1 - leads to arrhythmias
Histamine Pulmonary effects
Direct bronchoconstriction, increased mucus viscosity H1
slight bronchodilation, increased mucus secretion H2
Cough H1
Histamine GI effects
increased acid production H2 - H2 Blockers drugs of choice for peptic ulcers
Histamine Neuronal effects
cutaneous itching and pain H1 and 2
presynaptic inhibition of histamine synthesis and release - H3
regulation of dopamine, GABA, Ach, serotonin, and NE - H3 -CNS
Antibody/Antigen Immune releasers
