Study Notes
Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD) Treatment
- The primary aim of PUD therapy is to heal the ulcer and prevent recurrence.
H. Pylori Eradication
- Amoxicillin is a commonly used medication for H. Pylori eradication.
Antacid Mechanism of Action
- Antacids neutralize stomach acid, providing symptomatic relief from heartburn and pain.
- They increase gastric pH, inhibiting pepsin activity.
Histamine Secretion and Parietal Cells
- Enterochromaffin-like cells (ECL cells) secrete histamine, which stimulates parietal cells to release gastric acid.
Cytoprotective Agents
- Sucralfate is a cytoprotective agent used in PUD treatment.
- It forms a protective barrier over the ulcer, promoting healing.
H. Pylori Characterization
- Helicobacter pylori is a Gram-negative, helical bacterium associated with PUD.
Antacid Mechanisms NOT Involved
- Antacids do not inhibit the production of gastric acid directly. They primarily neutralize existing acid.
