H2 Receptor Antagonists
Competitive inhibitors of Histamine H2 Receptors
Good oral absorption
Reach peak serum conc. in 1-3 hr
In CSF, crosses placenta, in breast milk
Cimetidine
First blocker of gastric acid secretion
Works in minutes
Limited side effects because H2 mainly in stomach and doesnt readily cross BBB
Inhibits CytP450 and slows down metabolism of other drugs
Inhibits androgen receptors and increases prolactin
Caution in patients with liver/CV disease
Ranitidine
Longer lasting and 10X more potent than Cimetidine
Less CytP450 activity so fewer drug interactions
No androgen/prolactin effects
Caution in patients with liver/renal insufficiency
Famotidine
30x more acive than cimetidine: most potent H2 Antagonist
Negligible CytP450 effects
No effect on prolactin
Given to surgery patients preop
Nizantidine
Just like ranitidine but little hepatic metabolism so 100% oral avail.
Side effects are anemia and hives
Proton Pump Inhibitors
Irreversibly binds H/K ATPase of gastric parietal cell
99% reduction in gastric acid secretion
Only affect active pumps (25% of pumps are new daily)
Given in inactive form and absorbed in SI where it travels through blood to canaliculi base
Encapsulated to avoid acid in stomach
Omeprazole
Racemate (S and R)
R undergoes chiral shift to S in vivo
CYP 219 facilitates chiral shift so potential for "poor metabolizer effect"
Esomeprazole
S Enantiomer only
No "poor metabolizer effect"
Pros for Omeprazole/Esomeprazole
Highly selective, effective, long lasting
Cons for Omeprazole/Esomeprazole
Not for immediate relief
Do not crush tablets- enteric coating needing
PPI side effects
Risk of fracture with longterm use
Ulcer Treatment
Clarithromycin Triple Therapy:
PPI+ Clarithromycin+ Amox/Metronidazole
Bismuth Quad. Therapy:
PPI/H2RA+ Bismuth+ Metronidazole+Tetracycline
When should you not use antibiotics in patients with H Pylori?
Gastric adenocarcinoma
When is an antacid appropriate?
Mild, occasional GERD symptoms
Antacids with strongest mEq ANC and lowest tablet number
Maalox and Mylanta Double Strength
PPI side effects
Risk of fracture with longterm use
Ulcer Treatment
Clarithromycin Triple Therapy:
PPI+ Clarithromycin+ Amox/Metronidazole
Bismuth Quad. Therapy:
PPI/H2RA+ Bismuth+ Metronidazole+Tetracycline
When should you not use antibiotics in patients with H Pylori?
Gastric adenocarcinoma
When is an antacid appropriate?
Mild, occasional GERD symptoms
Antacids with strongest mEq ANC and lowest tablet number
Maalox and Mylanta Double Strength
Negative effect of many aluminum antacids like maalox and mylanta?
Absorb and chelate many drugs
Bismuth Compounds
No acid neutralizing or inhibiting
Bacteriostatic and Bacteriocidal effects against H Pylori by increasing prostaglandins or modulating immune response
Side effects of Bismuth Compounds
Black stools and darkening tongue
Sucralfate
Acts on lining of stomach and duodenum
Binds to and coats ulcers
Acidic pH promotes dissociation to negatively charged compound that binds positively charged proteins
Omeprazole superior for GERD
Works as well as H2RAs for ulcers
Misoprostol
Prevents NSAID induced gastric ulcers
Causes increased mucous production and decreased pepsin production
Side effects of Misoprostol
Diarrhea
Abortion or birth defects so don't use in pregnant women
Only for NSAID ulcers (not H Pylori)
Treatments for GERD
PPIs
Coating Agents (Sulcralfate)
Promotility/prokinetic agents
(Promotility agents have most side effects and don't work as well as PPIs for most)
Metoclopramide
Accelerates gastric emptying
Mediated by muscarinic activity
Side effects similar to other dopamine antagonists (Hyperprolactinemia and Parkinsonian effects)
Bethanechol
Parasympathetic choline ester that stimulates muscarinic receptors
Contraindicated in patients with asthma, peptic elcer and incontinence
Cisapride
Serotonin agonist
Increases muscle tone in esophageal sphinter
Zollinger Ellison Syndrome
Tumor of pancreatic islets that produces gastrin in large quantities
Treat with PPI
Stool Softeners
Act as detergeants to allow mixing of water, lipids, and fecal matter
Also increases secretions in intestine
Softens feces within 1-3 days
Lubricant/Emollient
Works in colon beginning in 6-8 hrs.
Make stool slippery for better sliding
Mineral Oil is ex. and also retards colonic water absorption (potential for fat malabsorption)
Osmotic Laxatives
Act on colon in 0.5-3 hrs
PEG solution and electrolytes are used for whole bowel irrigation before colonoscopy
Most common cause of secretory diarrhea
Cholera toxin stimulating anion secretion
Loperamide and Diphenoxylate
Opiates that decrease motility
Mehanism of Albendazole and side effects
Binds beta tubulin of parasite to inhibit polymerization
Effects: short term are GI and dizziness; long term elevation of liver enzymes
Antihelminth used for tropical filariasis (Wuchereria, Brugia, Loa)
Diethylcarbamazine
*Contraindicated in river blindness
