Peptic ulcer disease (PUD)Gastric or duodenal ulcers that involve digestion of the GI mucosa by the enzyme pepsinHelicobacter pylori (H. pylori)Bacterium found in GI tract of 90% of patients with duodenal ulcers and 70% of those with gastric ulcersFirst-line therapy includes a 10- to 14-day course of a proton pump inhibitor and antibioticsAcid-Related Diseases

Do not prevent the overproduction of acid but instead help to neutralize acid secretionsPromote gastric mucosal defensive mechanismsStimulate secretion of:Mucus: protective barrier against HClBicarbonate: helps buffer acidic properties of HClProstaglandins: prevent activation of proton pumpAntacids: Mechanism of Action

Reduction of pain associated with acid-related disordersRaising gastric pH 1 point (1.3 to 2.3) neutralizes 90% of the gastric acidReducing acidity reduces pain as a result of:Base-mediated inhibition of the protein-digesting ability of pepsinIncrease in the resistance of the stomach lining to irritationIncrease in the tone of the cardiac sphincterAntacids: Drug Effects

Classroom Response QuestionCopyright © 2014 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.24
A patient who has chronic renal failure wants to self-treat with an antacid for occasional heartburn. Which medication is the best choice for this patient?A magnesium-containing antacidA calcium-containing antacid
An aluminum-containing antacid
Because of renal problems, the patient should not take antacids for this problem.Slide25

Classroom Response QuestionCopyright © 2014 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.47
Simethicone (Mylicon) is often combined with calcium carbonate antacids because:an increased antacid effect will result when these drugs are given in combination.simethicone helps to reduce the gas that is caused by the calcium antacids.
simethicone reduces the diarrhea that is caused by the calcium.
simethicone improves the taste of the calcium tablets, which must be chewed.Slide48
Assess for allergies and preexisting conditions that may restrict the use of antacids, such as: Fluid imbalances Renal disease GI obstruction Heart failure (HF) Pregnancy Patients with heart failure or hypertension should not use antacids with high sodium contentNursing Implications: Antacids
Copyright © 2014 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.48Slide49
Use with caution with other medications because of the many drug interactionsMost medications should be administered 1 to 2 hours after an antacidAntacids may cause premature dissolving of enteric-coated medications, resulting in stomach upsetNursing Implications: Antacids (cont’d)Copyright © 2014 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
