EMESIS
•Protective reflex - to get rid the stomach and
intestine of toxic substances and prevent their
further ingestion.
Pre-ejection phase: Gastric relaxation &
retroperistalsis
Retching: Rhythmic action of respiratory muscles
preceding vomiting and consisting of contraction of
abdominal and intercostal muscles and diaphragm
against a closed glottis
Ejection: intense contraction of the abdominal
muscles and relaxation of the upper
esophageal sphincter
Serotonin(5-HT3), Dopamine(D2), Ach(M1/M3),
Neurokinin(NK1 ) Opioids(µ) Cannabinoid(CB1)
Histamine(H1),
EMETICS
According to site of action:
a.Centrally acting: Apomorphine &
Morphine
b.Peripherally acting: Mustard,
Potassium tartrate (tartar emetic)
and hypertonic sodium chloride
c.Both: Ipecacuanha
APOMORPHINE
D2 AGONIST
• Given SC/IM -6mg
Causes vomiting within 15 min
Vomiting is often accompanied by sedation
Should not be used if respiration is depressed
Large doses often produce restlessness, tremors, occasionally
convulsions
Sometimes may cause hypotension, syncope and coma
Emetics –Peripherally acting
Mustard:
Volatile oil
safe and easily available
Dose -1 tsp inwater
Sodium chloride:
Given orally
Withdraws fluid from the cells lining the stomach
causes irritation which causes reflex emesis
Emetics –contraindication
Corrosive (alkali, acid) poisoning
 C N S stimulant drugpoisoning
Kerosine (petroleum) poisoning
Unconscious patient
LIST OF DRUGS INDUCE
VOMITING
Anticancer drugs
Amiodarone
Apomorphine
Chloroquine, quinine
Diltiazem
Emetine
Ergot derivatives
Erythromycin, tetracyclines
Fluroquinolones
Metronidazole
ANTICHOLINERGICS
HYOSCINE
Dosage: 0.2-0.4 mg oral, i.m.
Most effective drug for motion sickness
But action is brief; &  sedation & other anticholinergic
side-effects
MOA – Block cholinergic NT in the vestibular-emetic
centre pathway  not useful for vomiting other than
due to motion sickness
TTDS – 1.5 mg over 3 days; applied behind pinna,
good efficacy and minimal side effects
DICYCLOMINE – 10-20 mg P/O For prophylaxis of
motion sickness and morning sickness; no
teratogenicity seen now; blocks M receptors 12
H1 ANTIHISTAMINES
13
PROMETHAZINE,
DIPHENHYDRAMINE,
DIMENHYDRINATE –
• Motion sickness for 4-6 hrs
• ADE – sedation & mouth dryness
++
Combined with metoclopramide, it
abolishes its extra pyramidal side
effects  combination is useful in
motion sickness (more efficacy,
less side effects)
DOXYLAMINE –
• A sedative H1-antihistamine + anti
cholinergic
Combined with pyridoxine for early
pregnancy morning sickness
Pk - Oral absorption – slow
ADE – dry mouth, drowsiness,
vertigo & Abd. Upset
Dose - 10-20 mg at bedtime is the
dose  frequency can be
increased to thrice daily if needed
CYCLIZINE & MECLIZINE –
• Less sedative & less
anticholinergic side-effects
Meclizine = longer acting, protects
against sea sickness for ~ 24 hrs.
CINNARIZINE –
• Anti-vertigo drug in motion
sickness
Inhibits Ca++ influx from
endolymph into vestibular sensory
cells  regain labyrinthine reflexes
 no vertigo / emesis
GENERAL POINTS ABOUT H1
BLOCKERS IN EMESIS Rx -
 First choice in motion sickness
 Taken ½ - 1 hr before journey; like all
anti-motion sickness drugs
 Once motion sickness starts, it is difficult
to control  higher/parenteral doses
required
 Due to some teratogenic potential, avoid
them if possible
 Other modalities – reassure & diet
adjustment

NEUROLEPTICS
Potent anti-emetics
Block D2 receptors in CTZ + antimuscarinic + antiH1
properties
Broad spectrum anti-emetic action
Drug-induced & post-GA nausea/vomiting
Gastroenteritis-, uraemia-, liver disease- & migraine-
induced vomiting
Malignancy- & chemotherapy-induced vomiting
Radiation sickness vomiting (less effective)
Hyper emesis gravid arum
Less effective in motion sickness  as vestibular
pathway does not involve DA
17-05-2023 15
PROCHLORPERAZINE
D2 – blocker phenothiazine labyrinthine
suppressant
Antivertigo & antiemetic actions
Useful in vertigo-associated & chemotherapy-
induced nausea/vomiting
ADE: Extra pyramidal side-effects & muscle
dystonia
Antiemetic dose << anti-psychotic dose
Not given till cause of emesis is diagnosed
17-05-2023 16
PROKINETIC AGENTS -
 Promote gastrointestinal transit and speed gastric
emptying by enhancing coordinated propulsive
motility.
 Metoclopramide
 Domperidone/Tegaserod
 Cisapride/Mosapride
 METOCLOPRAMIDE
 GIT ACTIONS: Speeds gastric emptying 
decreases transit time in stomach + LES tone is
increased
 CNS: On CTZ, it  anti-emesis
 Pk – crosses placenta, actions last 4-6 hrs.
17-05-2023 17
Dopamine
5-HT4 agonism
5-HT3
antagonism
Inhibitory transmitter in GIT
• Delay gastric emptying when food is
present in stomach
• Cause gastric dilatation and LES
relaxation attending nausea and
vomiting.
• G.i.t. to enhance ACh release from
myenteric motor neurons
• Gastric hurrying and LES tonic
• 5-HT3 receptors present on inhibitory
myenteric interneurones and in NTS/
CTZ.
ADE
 Sedation, muscle
dystonia in children,
loose stools, long term
use  parkinsonism,
galactorrhoea,
gynecomastia
USES
 1) Antiemetic: migraine,
radiation sickness,
postoperative & drug-
induced emesis;
 2) gastro kinetic:
duodenal intubation,
emergency GA, Relieve
gastric stasis due to
vagotomy/DM;
 3) Dyspepsia &
hiccoughs;
 4) GERD: With PPIs &
H2-blockers
17-05-2023 19
• D 2 antagonist
• Chemically related to haloperidol but pharmacologically related
to metoclopramide
• Has lower ceiling antiemetic and prokinetic actions
• Poorly crosses BBB
• Rare extra pyramidal side effects
• Absorbed orally, but bioavailability is only 15% due to first pass
metabolism
• Completely metabolized and excreted in urine
• t ½ is 7.5hr
Domperidone
Cont…
Cisapride
5-HT4 agonistic (which promotes ACh release from
myenteric neurons) and 5-HT3 antagonistic (minor)
action in the myenteric plexus.
Little antiemetic property, because it lacks D2
receptor antagonism
G a s t r i c e m p t y i n g i s a c c e l e r a t e d
LES tone is improved, esophageal peristalsis
augmented
Enteric neuronal activation via 5-HT4 receptor also
promotes cAMP-dependent Cl– secretion in the
colon, increasing water content of stool
Devoid of action on CTZ and does not produce
extrapyramidal symptoms
Primary indication of cisapride has been GERD
Ventricular arrhythmias and death, mainly
among patients who took CYP3A4
inhibitors like azole antifungals,
macrolide antibiotics, antidepressants,
HIV protease inhibitors,.
At high concentrations, cisapride blocks
delayed rectifying K+ channels in heart—
prolongs Q-Tc interval and predisposes to
torsades de pointes/ventricular fibrillation
Itopride
A 55-year-old woman with type 1 diabetes of 40
years’ duration complains of severe bloating and
abdominal distress, especially after meals.

ANTIEMETICS AND PROKINETICS.pptx

  • 2. EMESIS •Protective reflex - to get rid the stomach and intestine of toxic substances and prevent their further ingestion. Pre-ejection phase: Gastric relaxation & retroperistalsis Retching: Rhythmic action of respiratory muscles preceding vomiting and consisting of contraction of abdominal and intercostal muscles and diaphragm against a closed glottis Ejection: intense contraction of the abdominal muscles and relaxation of the upper esophageal sphincter
  • 3.
  • 4.
  • 5. Serotonin(5-HT3), Dopamine(D2), Ach(M1/M3), Neurokinin(NK1 ) Opioids(µ) Cannabinoid(CB1) Histamine(H1),
  • 6. EMETICS According to site of action: a.Centrally acting: Apomorphine & Morphine b.Peripherally acting: Mustard, Potassium tartrate (tartar emetic) and hypertonic sodium chloride c.Both: Ipecacuanha
  • 7. APOMORPHINE D2 AGONIST • Given SC/IM -6mg Causes vomiting within 15 min Vomiting is often accompanied by sedation Should not be used if respiration is depressed Large doses often produce restlessness, tremors, occasionally convulsions Sometimes may cause hypotension, syncope and coma
  • 8. Emetics –Peripherally acting Mustard: Volatile oil safe and easily available Dose -1 tsp inwater Sodium chloride: Given orally Withdraws fluid from the cells lining the stomach causes irritation which causes reflex emesis
  • 9. Emetics –contraindication Corrosive (alkali, acid) poisoning  C N S stimulant drugpoisoning Kerosine (petroleum) poisoning Unconscious patient
  • 10. LIST OF DRUGS INDUCE VOMITING Anticancer drugs Amiodarone Apomorphine Chloroquine, quinine Diltiazem Emetine Ergot derivatives Erythromycin, tetracyclines Fluroquinolones Metronidazole
  • 11.
  • 12. ANTICHOLINERGICS HYOSCINE Dosage: 0.2-0.4 mg oral, i.m. Most effective drug for motion sickness But action is brief; &  sedation & other anticholinergic side-effects MOA – Block cholinergic NT in the vestibular-emetic centre pathway  not useful for vomiting other than due to motion sickness TTDS – 1.5 mg over 3 days; applied behind pinna, good efficacy and minimal side effects DICYCLOMINE – 10-20 mg P/O For prophylaxis of motion sickness and morning sickness; no teratogenicity seen now; blocks M receptors 12
  • 13. H1 ANTIHISTAMINES 13 PROMETHAZINE, DIPHENHYDRAMINE, DIMENHYDRINATE – • Motion sickness for 4-6 hrs • ADE – sedation & mouth dryness ++ Combined with metoclopramide, it abolishes its extra pyramidal side effects  combination is useful in motion sickness (more efficacy, less side effects) DOXYLAMINE – • A sedative H1-antihistamine + anti cholinergic Combined with pyridoxine for early pregnancy morning sickness Pk - Oral absorption – slow ADE – dry mouth, drowsiness, vertigo & Abd. Upset Dose - 10-20 mg at bedtime is the dose  frequency can be increased to thrice daily if needed CYCLIZINE & MECLIZINE – • Less sedative & less anticholinergic side-effects Meclizine = longer acting, protects against sea sickness for ~ 24 hrs. CINNARIZINE – • Anti-vertigo drug in motion sickness Inhibits Ca++ influx from endolymph into vestibular sensory cells  regain labyrinthine reflexes  no vertigo / emesis
  • 14. GENERAL POINTS ABOUT H1 BLOCKERS IN EMESIS Rx -  First choice in motion sickness  Taken ½ - 1 hr before journey; like all anti-motion sickness drugs  Once motion sickness starts, it is difficult to control  higher/parenteral doses required  Due to some teratogenic potential, avoid them if possible  Other modalities – reassure & diet adjustment 17-05-2023 14
  • 15. NEUROLEPTICS Potent anti-emetics Block D2 receptors in CTZ + antimuscarinic + antiH1 properties Broad spectrum anti-emetic action Drug-induced & post-GA nausea/vomiting Gastroenteritis-, uraemia-, liver disease- & migraine- induced vomiting Malignancy- & chemotherapy-induced vomiting Radiation sickness vomiting (less effective) Hyper emesis gravid arum Less effective in motion sickness  as vestibular pathway does not involve DA 17-05-2023 15
  • 16. PROCHLORPERAZINE D2 – blocker phenothiazine labyrinthine suppressant Antivertigo & antiemetic actions Useful in vertigo-associated & chemotherapy- induced nausea/vomiting ADE: Extra pyramidal side-effects & muscle dystonia Antiemetic dose << anti-psychotic dose Not given till cause of emesis is diagnosed 17-05-2023 16
  • 17. PROKINETIC AGENTS -  Promote gastrointestinal transit and speed gastric emptying by enhancing coordinated propulsive motility.  Metoclopramide  Domperidone/Tegaserod  Cisapride/Mosapride  METOCLOPRAMIDE  GIT ACTIONS: Speeds gastric emptying  decreases transit time in stomach + LES tone is increased  CNS: On CTZ, it  anti-emesis  Pk – crosses placenta, actions last 4-6 hrs. 17-05-2023 17
  • 18. Dopamine 5-HT4 agonism 5-HT3 antagonism Inhibitory transmitter in GIT • Delay gastric emptying when food is present in stomach • Cause gastric dilatation and LES relaxation attending nausea and vomiting. • G.i.t. to enhance ACh release from myenteric motor neurons • Gastric hurrying and LES tonic • 5-HT3 receptors present on inhibitory myenteric interneurones and in NTS/ CTZ.
  • 19. ADE  Sedation, muscle dystonia in children, loose stools, long term use  parkinsonism, galactorrhoea, gynecomastia USES  1) Antiemetic: migraine, radiation sickness, postoperative & drug- induced emesis;  2) gastro kinetic: duodenal intubation, emergency GA, Relieve gastric stasis due to vagotomy/DM;  3) Dyspepsia & hiccoughs;  4) GERD: With PPIs & H2-blockers 17-05-2023 19
  • 20. • D 2 antagonist • Chemically related to haloperidol but pharmacologically related to metoclopramide • Has lower ceiling antiemetic and prokinetic actions • Poorly crosses BBB • Rare extra pyramidal side effects • Absorbed orally, but bioavailability is only 15% due to first pass metabolism • Completely metabolized and excreted in urine • t ½ is 7.5hr Domperidone Cont…
  • 21. Cisapride 5-HT4 agonistic (which promotes ACh release from myenteric neurons) and 5-HT3 antagonistic (minor) action in the myenteric plexus. Little antiemetic property, because it lacks D2 receptor antagonism G a s t r i c e m p t y i n g i s a c c e l e r a t e d LES tone is improved, esophageal peristalsis augmented Enteric neuronal activation via 5-HT4 receptor also promotes cAMP-dependent Cl– secretion in the colon, increasing water content of stool Devoid of action on CTZ and does not produce extrapyramidal symptoms Primary indication of cisapride has been GERD
  • 22. Ventricular arrhythmias and death, mainly among patients who took CYP3A4 inhibitors like azole antifungals, macrolide antibiotics, antidepressants, HIV protease inhibitors,. At high concentrations, cisapride blocks delayed rectifying K+ channels in heart— prolongs Q-Tc interval and predisposes to torsades de pointes/ventricular fibrillation Itopride
  • 23. A 55-year-old woman with type 1 diabetes of 40 years’ duration complains of severe bloating and abdominal distress, especially after meals. Evaluation is consistent with diabetic gastroparesis. Which of the following is a prokinetic drug that could be used in this situation? (A) Alosetron (B) Cimetidine (C) Loperamide (D) Metoclopramide (E) Sucralfate
  • 24. CHEMOTHERAPY INDUCED NAUSEA AND VOMITING Acute- 24 hours Delayed- 2-5 days
  • 25. 5HT3 ANTAGONISTS Role of Serotonin in EMESIS Vagal,spinal visceral afferents send impulses to NTS and CTZ. Extrinsic primary afferent neurones (PAN) of the enteric nervous system (ENS). Release of 5-HT from Enterochromaffin cells 5-HT spilled into circulation reach CTZ via vascular route Substance P Bradykinin Neurokinin Cannabinoid Opioid
  • 26. • Ondansetron • Granisetron, • Dolasetron • Tropisetron • Palonosetron • Higher receptor affinity • Longer t1/2,
