Toxicology: Science of poison It is the study of measurement, detection and treatment of poisons Therapeutics: It is branch of medicine concerned with cure of a disease or relief of symptoms Pharmacopeia: A book published by recognised authority of any country containing a list of accepted drugs and formulae for medical preparations with average dose and description of their characteristics test for their identity, purity and potency like IP, BP, USP Q.2 What is prescription? It is written order for one or medical agents along with direction to the pharmacist for the preparation and to the Drugs Used in Gastrointestinal Tract 83 Q.14 What is the mechanism of action of purgatives? All purgatives increase the water content of the faeces, increase volume of colonic content and make it easily propelled, decrease absorption of water and electrolyte, increase propulsion activity Purgatives modify fluid dynamics of mucosal cell and accumulate fluid in the gut lumen in one of the following mechanism: Inhibits Na/K ATPase impairing water absorption, stimulate adenylyl cyclase to increase water secretion They cause structural damage to mucosal cells hindering absorption Q.15 What are the disadvantages of liquid paraffin and dietary fibres Disadvantages of liquid paraffin are: i Bland, unpleasant to swallow ii May pass into mucosa, carried into lymph, may produce foreign body granulomas in the intestinal submucosa, mesenteric lymph nodes iii May tride into lung producing pneumonia 1v Carries away fat soluble vitamins with stool and vitamin deficiency may occur v May interfere with healing in anorectal region and leakage of oil at and sphincter may be embarassing Q.16 What is the mechanism of action of castor oil? Castor oil is bland vegetable oil seeds of Ricinus communis contains triglyceride of Ricinoleic acid which is hydrolysed in the ileum by lipase to ricinoleic acid and glycerol Ricinoleic acid being polar poorly absorbed and irritate GI mucosa Other proposed mechanism producers structural damage to villious tips, decreases intestinal absorption Q.17 What is the mechanism of action of Lactulose? The semisynthetic disaccharides of fructose and lactose which is not digested or absorbed retain water, broken down by colonic bacteria to osmotically more active product It is also used for hepatic encephalopathy Lactulose causes reduction of blood NH3, the breakdown products of lactulose are acidic and reduce pH of stool Ammonia produced by bacteria in gut is ionized to NH4 which is not absorbed + 84 Viva Voce in Medical Pharmacology Q.18 What are the therapeutic uses of purgatives? They are used for: i Functional constipation ii Bed ridden patient iii To avoid straining at stools iv Preparation of bowel in surgery, colonoscopy X-rays v Food poisoning vi Some antihelminths require purgative to propel them out Q.19 What are the dangers of purgative abuse?
