Study Notes
- Antacids absorb protons and increase pH, with sodium bicarbonate being one example.
- Histamine H2 receptor antagonists (H2RAs) block H2 receptors to decrease HCl production, with cimetidine being a prototype.
- Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) irreversibly inhibit the proton pump to reduce HCl production, with omeprazole being an example.
- PPIs are more effective than H2RAs and are formulated as coated capsules to reach the gastric mucosa.
- PPIs increase the risk of infection due to their effectiveness.
- Mucosal protective agents protect the mucosa from gastric acid.
- Natural protection mechanisms of the gastroduodenal mucosa include tight junctions, mucus, bicarbonate secretion, tissue repair mechanisms, and mucosal prostaglandins.
- Bismuth subsalicylate is a commonly used mucosal protective agent that enhances natural mucosal defense mechanisms.
- The MOA of bismuth subsalicylate involves coating ulcers and erosions, inhibiting chloride secretion, and having anti-virulence effects.
- Cimetidine can cause gynecomastia or impotence in men and galactorrhea in women, and should not be used in pregnant and nursing women.
