Objectives
• Classify drugs used for the treatment of acid peptic
disease
.
Acid-peptic disease includes
Peptic ulcer
Gastric ulcer
Deudenal ulcer
Stress ulcers.
What is stress ulcer?
• Stress ulcers are multiple, superficial
erosions which occur mainly in the fundus
and body of the stomach. They develop due
to decrease perfusion after shock, sepsis,
and trauma and are often found in patients
with chronic medical illness.
Gastric
Glands
• Secrete gastric juice:
• Goblet cells: mucus.
• Parietal cells: HCl and intrinsic factor.
• Chief cells: pepsinogen.
• Enterochromaffin-like cells (ECL):
histamine , serotonin.
• G cells: gastrin.
Causes of gastric ulcer
formation
• Imbalance between mucosal defense mechanisms
and acid producing mechanism
• Stress
• H-Pylori bacteria
• Drugs; NSAIDS, Steroids
TREATMENT GOAL
Promote healing.
HOW?
Eradicating H-Pylori.
