Famotidine
Ranitidine
Cimetidine
What is the order of the H2 receptor blockers from most potent to least potent
Famotidine
Ranitidine
Cimetidine
What is famotidine
Famotidine is the most potent H2 receptor blocker used to treat GERD, promote gastric and duodenal ulcer healing, and prevent stress ulcers.
What is Ranitidine
Ranitidine is a drug used to treat GERD, promote gastric duodenal ulcers healing, and prevent stress ulcers. It is an intermediate strength H2 blocker.
What is Cimitidine
Cimitidine is the least potent H2 receptor blocker (inhibits CYP3A4 cytochromes) used in treating GERD, promote gastric and duodenal ulcers healing and preventing stress ulcers.
What H2 blocker could I give if I wanted to give the most potent one? What could it treat?
Famotidine. H2 blockers treat GERD, promote gastric and duodenal ulcer healing, and preventing stress ulcers.

Metyrapone
How is metyrapone used in a diagnostic test?
Used to test adrenal insufficiency- instead of synthesizing cortisol, you get synthesis stopped at 11-desoxycortisol. This does not inhibit ACTH release, so ACTH rises. ACTH stimulates synthesis and excretion of 17-hydroxycorticoids. (check the urine- if high levels, normal).
