Pharmacology
Peptic Ulcer Disease



Imbalance between mucosal defensive
factors and aggressive factors
Major defensive – mucus and bicarbonate
Major aggressive – gastric acid, H. pylori,
nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs,
pepsin
Defensive factors





Prevent the stomach and duodenum from being
harmed (self-digestion).
Mucus – continually secreted, protective effect
Bicarb – secreted from endothelial cells,
neutralized hydrogen ions
Blood flow – good blood flow helps to maintain
mucosal integrity
Prostaglandins – stimulate secretion of bicarb and
mucus and help promote blood flow, suppress
secretion of gastric acid
Aggressive factors


Helicobacter pylori – gram negative
bacteria, can live in stomach and
duodenum
May breakdown mucus layer,
inflammatory response to presence of the
bacteria may breakdown defenses, also
produces urease – forms CO2 and
ammonia which are toxic to mucosa



NSAIDS – inhibit the production of
prostaglandins
Decrease blood flow, decrease mucus
production and bicarb synthesis, promote
gastric acid secretion
Gastric Acid – also needs to be present for
ulcer to form – activates pepsin and injures
mucosa


Pepsin
Smoking
Classes of drugs





Antibiotics
Antisecretory agents
Mucosal protectants
Antisecretory agents that enhance mucosal
defenses
Antacids
Nondrug therapy


Diet – change in eating pattern, 5-6 small
meals a day
Smoking cessation, NSAID and ASA
should be avoided whenever possible,
avoid alcohol
Antibacterial drugs






Combinations must be used
Bismuth – disrupts cell wall of H. pylori,
pepto-bismol
Clarithromycin – inhibits protein synthesis
Amoxicillin – disrupts cell wall, good
when given with omeprazole
Tetracyclin – inhibits protein synthesis
Metronidazole – resistance,
Histamine 2-receptor antagonists




Suppress secretion of gastric acid (activation of
H2 receptors promotes secretion of gastric acid)
Cimetidine - first available, oral, IV, IM
May take up to twelve weeks for ulcer to be
healed
Therapeutic uses – ulcers, GERD, Zollingerellison syndrome, aspiration pneumonitis,
heartburn, indigestion
Ranitidine (Zantac)





More potent – than cimetidine
Fewer side effects
Fewer drug interactions
PO, IM, IV
Famotidine, Nizatidine
Proton Pump Inhibitors




Suppress secretion of gastric acid
Omeprazole – prilosec – prodrug that
converts to active form in parietal cells of
stomach – inhibits enzyme that generates
gastric acid
Ulcers, GERD, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome
May contribute to development of gastric
tumors?
Other PPIs



Lansoprazole
Rabeprazole
Pantoprazole – protonix – usually given 40
mg per day
Sucralfate




Creates a protective barrier against acid
and pepsin
Form sticky gel that coats ulcer portion
Given every 6 hours
Very few side effects – minimal systemic
absorption
misoprostol


Cytotec – prevention of gastric ulcers
caused by long-term NSAID therapy
Replacement for endogenous
prostaglandins
Antacids



Peptic ulcers and GERD
Neutralize acid
Dosing – 7 times per day
Schemes of combined treatment of gastric
ulcer
De-nol + amoxycillin
De-nol + metronidazole
Omeprazole + amoxycillin + clarythromycin
De-nol + clarythromycin + metronidazole
De-nol + controlok + amoxycilin + clarythromycin
Laxatives


Laxative effect – production of a soft
formed stool over a period of 1 or more
days
Catharsis – prompt, fluid evacuation of the
bowel, more intense

Function of the colon – water and
electrolyte absorption
Bowel evacuation – individual

Dietary fiber

Constipation


Consistency vs. frequency
Causes – diet and fluid, medications,
activity
Indications for laxative use





Pain associated with bowel movements
To decrease amount of strain under certain
conditions
Evacuate bowel prior to procedures or
examinations
Remove poisons
To relieve constipation caused by
pregnancy or drugs
Laxative contraindications



Inflammatory bowel diseases
Acute surgical abdomen
Chronic use and abuse
Classifications



I – osmotic (high doses)
II – osmotic (low doses), stimulant except
castor oil – most frequently abused
III – bulk-forming, surfactant
Bulk-forming



Identical to fiber – soften fecal mass,
increasing bulk
Temporary treatment of constipation,
preferred for patients with inflammatory
bowel diseases
May help with diarrhea
Adverse reactions




Not absorbed – no systemic effects
Must take with sufficient water
Intestinal, esophageal obstruction
Metamucil, citrucel
Surfactant laxatives





Stimulate intestinal motility
Increase water and electrolytes in intestinal
lumen
Produce stool within 6-12 hours
