Study Notes
- Mucus and bicarbonate secretions protect mucosa from damage caused by hydrochloric acid (HCL) and pepsin in the stomach.
- Hydrochloric acid (HCL) and pepsin destroy gastric and duodenal mucosa, leading to Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD). Factors that aggravate this condition include H. Pylori infection, NSAIDs, cigarettes, alcohol, and impaired regulation of acid-pepsin secretion. NSAIDs reduce prostaglandins, which are protective factors against damage to the mucosa.
- Prostaglic acids (PGE2 & PGI2) protect the mucosa by inhibiting acid secretion, increasing mucus and bicarbonate production, and enhancing mucosal blood flow.
- Factors that impair the defense mechanism of the mucosa include ischemia, shock, delayed gastric emptying, and duodenal-gastric reflux.
- Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD) can be caused by a number of factors, including H. Pylori infection, Zollinger Ellison syndrome (a disease that causes excessive gastric acid production), and impaired regulation of gastric secretions.
- Peptic ulcers can be treated with neutralizing agents, mucosal cytoprotective agents, and hyposecretory drugs. Neutralizing agents, such as antacids, create a balance between acid and base while mucosal cytoprotective agents protect the mucosa. Hyposecretory drugs, such as proton pump inhibitors and H2 receptor blockers, reduce gastric acid secretion to promote healing and relieve pain.
- H. pylori infections can be eradicated using antibiotics and antacids. Eradication of H. pylori is an effective way to treat peptic ulcers and prevent their recurrence.
- Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) are the most potent inhibitors of acid secretion available. They act by irreversibly inhibiting the final step in gastric acid secretion from the parietal cell and have antibacterial properties. PPIs are given orally as enteric-coated formulations and are rapidly absorbed and activated in the stomach.
- H2 receptor blockers, such as cimetidine, ranitidine, and famotidine, reversibly block H2 receptors on parietal cells to reduce acid secretion. They are effective in treating GERD and preventing relapse after ulcer healing.
- Antacids, mucosal cytoprotective agents, and antisecretory drugs are used to treat peptic ulcer disease. Antacids neutralize stomach acid, mucosal cytoprotective agents protect the mucosa, and antisecretory drugs reduce gastric acid secretion to promote healing.
- H. pylori infections can lead to vitamin B12 deficiency, hypomagnesemia, and osteoporosis due to decreased production of intrinsic factors from the stomach wall.
- Omeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor, should not be combined with clopidogrel, an antiplatelet, due to its inhibition of CYP2C19, which is required for the activation of clopidogrel.
- H2 receptor blockers, such as cimetidine, ranitidine, and famotidine, are effective in treating GERD and preventing relapse after ulcer healing. They can also be used to prevent bleeding from stress-related gastritis and as preanesthetic medication.
- Hyposecretory drugs, such as proton pump inhibitors and H2 receptor blockers, can be used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and hypersecretory conditions, such as Zollinger Ellison syndrome and gastrinoma.
- Proton pump inhibitors and H2 receptor blockers are effective in treating peptic ulcer disease, but they have different mechanisms of action. Proton pump inhibitors irreversibly inhibit the final step in gastric acid secretion from the parietal cell, while H2 receptor blockers reversibly block H2 receptors on parietal cells to reduce acid secretion.
- Proton pump inhibitors are the most effective drugs for treating peptic ulcer disease, but they are expensive and usually reserved for severe cases. They produce marked inhibition of basal and food-stimulated acid secretion, promote mucosal healing and decrease pain, and have H. pylori inhibitory properties.
- H2 receptor blockers, such as cimetidine, ranitidine, and famotidine, are effective in preventing relapse after ulcer healing and reducing the risk of developing complications. They can also be used to treat GERD and prevent bleeding from stress-related gastritis.
- Proton pump inhibitors and H2 receptor blockers are metabolized in the liver and have different durations of action. Proton pump inhibitors have long durations of action and once-daily dosing, while H2 receptor blockers have shorter durations of action and require more frequent dosing.
- Proton pump inhibitors and H2 receptor blockers have different side effects and interactions. Proton pump inhibitors can cause headache, diarrhea, and abdominal pain, and they can interact with clopidogrel and other drugs metabolized by the liver. H2 receptor blockers can cause headache, dizziness, and constipation, and they can interact with other medications such as warfarin and phenytoin.
- Proton pump inhibitors are the most effective drugs for treating peptic ulcer disease, but they are expensive and usually reserved for severe cases. H2 receptor blockers can be used as a first-line treatment for mild to moderate cases and as a supplement to proton pump inhibitors for more severe cases.
- Proton pump inhibitors and H2 receptor blockers are effective in treating gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and they can be used to prevent relapse after ulcer healing and reduce the risk of developing complications. Prokinetic and hyposecretory drugs can also be used to treat GERD, depending on the underlying cause.
- Proton pump inhibitors and H2 receptor blockers are effective in treating hypersecretory conditions, such as Zollinger Ellison syndrome and gastrinoma, by reducing gastric acid secretion and promoting mucosal healing.
- Proton pump inhibitors and H2 receptor blockers are effective in treating acute ulcer healing, but they have different mechanisms of action. Proton pump inhibitors irreversibly inhibit the final step in gastric acid secretion from the parietal cell, while H2 receptor blockers reversibly block H2 receptors on parietal cells to reduce acid secretion.
- Proton pump inhibitors and H2 receptor blockers are effective in treating acute ulcer healing, but they have different durations of action and side effects. Proton pump inhibitors have long durations of action and once-daily dosing, while H2 receptor blockers have shorter durations of action and require more frequent dosing. Proton pump inhibitors can cause headache, diarrhea, and abdominal pain, while H2 receptor blockers can cause headache, dizziness, and constipation.
