MOA of H2 blockers

block the nocturnal/fasting acid secretion by blocking H2 on parietal cells

MOA of antacids

increases intragastric pH

MOA of PPIs

inhibit acid secretion by antagonizing the H+/K+ ATPase enzyme, antimicrobial

MOA of sucrafalate

provides a physical barrier on GI ulcers

MOA of bismuth compounds

antibacterial and cytoprotective

FDA-approved medication to treat IBS-D in women

alosetron

MOA of alosetron

5-HT3 antagonist

why is diphenoxylate administered w/ atropine?

decreases the abuse potential on the opioid receptor

cephalic phase stimuli cause _____________ activation through the vagus nerve

parasympathetic

MOA of benzamides (metoclopramide/domperidone)

D2 receptor blockade, upper GI stimulation

MOA of phenothiazine (promethazine)

D2 blockade (anti-emetic), antihistamine (sedative)

which two receptors when activated result in the secretion of Cl-rich fluids into the gut and thus increase motility and decrease transit times

MOA of lbuprostone, linaclotide

stimulate Cl channel activation and secretion into the intestines

MOA of loperamide

peripheral mu receptor agonist; slows motility, increases fluid absorption

MOA of bulk-forming laxatives (metamucil)

absorb water in the GI tract to move materials through

which trio of medication classes are given in CINV?

what "bug" is the primary factor in PUD?

h. pylori

MOA of mesalamines

coat 5ASA with pH-sensitive resins that allow its release in the ileum and proximal colon

1

dopamine

in the hospital, may patients are given IV ____________________ to prevent stress-related gastric ulcers

H2 antagonists

MOA of phenothiazines (promethazine)

anti-emetic via dopamine and muscarinic receptor blockade, sedative via antihistamine activity

what two factors account for the vast majority of all peptic ulcers?

h. pylori and nsaids

MOA of chloride channel activators (linaclotide, lubriprisone)

agonism of guanylyl cyclase C on the intestinal epithelial cell surface, activating the CFTR causing Cl secretion into the gut lumen

first line drugs for induction/maintenance of ulcerative colitis

aminosalicylates (pentaza, asacol, lialda, rowasa)
