◉ What is used to treat hyperacidity. Answer: Aluminum hydroxide
(amphojel)
◉ What does aluminum hydroxide (amphojel) treat. Answer:
hyperacidity
◉ What is used to treat peptic ulcer disease. Answer: Aluminum
hydroxide/magnesium (maalox)
◉ mechanism of action of antacids. Answer: weak bases that react with
hydrochloric acid to neutralize acids in the GI tract
,◉ What are antacids used for. Answer: to reduce gastric acidity in the
treatment of GERD and peptic ulcer disease (PUD)
◉ Adverse effects of antiacids. Answer: abdominal pain of unknown
cause (especially with fever)
◉ Contraindication of calcium based antacids. Answer: do not take if
hypercalcemic or with renal calculi

◉ Histamine 2 Receptor Antagonists examples. Answer: famotidine
(pepcid), & cimetidine (tagamet)
◉ What is the other name for famotidine. Answer: Pepcid
, ◉ what is the other name for cimetidine. Answer: Tagamet
◉ Mechanism of action of Histamine 2 Receptor Antagonists(H2RAs).
Answer: decrease gastric secretion by reversibly binding to histamine
type 2 receptors on gastric parietal cells, interfering with gastric acid
production and secretion pathways
◉ action of H2RAs. Answer: block the histamine receptors in parietal
cells to decrease the amount of acid produced
◉ How do proton pump inhibitors work. Answer: by shutting down the
proton pumps in these cells and preventing the acid from being secreted
into the stomach
◉ Cimetidine (Tagamet) considerations. Answer: has the greatest risk
for drug interactions
◉ patient education for cimetidine. Answer: warn men about the
potential for gynecomastia and impotence (erectile dysfunction)
◉ Why should you not smoke with H2RAs. Answer: interferes with the
absorption and increases gastric acid secretion
◉ H2RA adverse reactions. Answer:
