Cytoprotective agents Protects the lining of the stomach.
Sucralfate (Carafate) Activated by the gastric acid to form a protective gel
over ulcers. It sticks to the
ulcer for about 6 hours to give time for the ulcer to heal
which can take 4-8 weeks.
Drug Interactions of Interferes with absorption of other drugs. Give 2
Sucralfate hours before or after other drugs. Don't give
with antacids.
Misoprostol (Cytotec) Synthetic prostaglandin E used prophylactically
to prevent ulcers in patients who take NSAIDs
or Aspirin.
Pregnancy Category X Can cause miscarriage.
Antacids Used to treat simple heartburn (dyspepsia).
Action of Antacids To neutralize acids in the GI tract.
Calcium Carbonate Prototype antacid.
Magnesium hydroxide Great as an antacid in low doses but in high doses can
cause diarrhea.

acid, 90% effective in reducing gastric acid

secretion.
Omeprazole (Prilosec) Prototype PPI.
Adverse Effects of PPIs Might cause a little GI upset, significantly
decreases GI acids which may affect absorption
of important minerals.
H2 Receptor Antagonists Blocks the secretion of acid by the parietal cells that
(H2RAs) are stimulated by H2.
Famotidine (Pepcid) Prototype H2 receptor antagonist.
Digestants Used when there is some essential enzyme missing to
be able to digest food.
Pancreatic enzymes Prototype digestant.
(Pancrelipase)
Antiemetics Used to treat nausea and vomiting.
