🩺 MKR Care➕ Pharmacy Health Alert: Major Side Effects of Antiulcer Medications

Antiulcer medications such as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), H2 blockers, antacids, and mucosal protectants are widely used to treat ulcers, acid reflux, and related stomach conditions. Though effective, some important side effects should be known:

Key Major Side Effects:

- Increased risk of bone fractures with long-term use of PPIs due to decreased calcium absorption
- Vitamin B12 deficiency from reduced stomach acid with prolonged therapy
- Higher susceptibility to gut infections like Clostridioides difficile (C. diff) from acid suppression
- Kidney issues including acute interstitial nephritis with prolonged use
- Sexual side effects mainly linked to cimetidine (an H2 blocker), including:
- Decreased libido (lowered sexual desire)
- Erectile dysfunction in men
- Rare gynecomastia (enlargement of male breast tissue)

Additional Notes by Medication Type:

- PPIs (e.g., omeprazole, lansoprazole): Commonly mild gastrointestinal issues; serious long-term risks involve bone density and infections.
- H2 blockers (e.g., cimetidine, famotidine): Mild GI symptoms plus rare hormonal effects causing sexual side effects.
- Mucosal protectants (e.g., sucralfate): Mostly constipation as a side effect.
- Antacids (e.g., aluminum hydroxide): Can cause constipation and mineral imbalances if used excessively.

Safety Tips:
- Take medications exactly as prescribed.
- Discuss any concerns or side effects with your healthcare provider.
- Do not discontinue medication without consulting a professional.
- Ask about alternatives if troublesome side effects occur.

🩺 MKR Pharmacy – Diabetes Alert

Diabetes Insipidus vs. Diabetes Mellitus: What’s the Difference?

Though their names sound similar and both cause increased thirst 💧 and frequent urination 🚽, these two conditions are very different.

- Cause:
- Diabetes Insipidus (DI) is due to a lack of or resistance to antidiuretic hormone (vasopressin), affecting kidney water balance 💦.
- Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is caused by insufficient insulin production or insulin resistance affecting blood sugar regulation 🍬.

- Affected Organs:
- DI involves the kidneys and pituitary gland 🧠.
- DM involves the pancreas 🥭.

- Blood Sugar Levels:
- DI typically has normal blood sugar 🩸.
- DM results in high blood sugar ⬆️.

- Urine Output:
- DI produces large amounts of very dilute, watery urine 💧🚰.
- DM causes increased urination, but urine contains glucose 🍭.

- Symptoms:
- DI symptoms include excessive thirst, very diluted urine, and dehydration 🥤.
- DM symptoms include excessive thirst, frequent urination, fatigue 😴, and weight changes ⚖️.

- Treatment:
- DI treatment involves hormone replacement or medications to reduce urine output 💊.
- DM treatment includes insulin therapy 💉, oral medications, and lifestyle changes 🥗🏃.

- Frequency:
- DI is rare ⚠️.
- DM is common ✅.

Key Point: Diabetes Insipidus is about fluid balance and hormone regulation, not blood sugar. Diabetes Mellitus involves blood sugar control and insulin.
