    Peptic Ulcer Disease
    Today, we will be going over some of the drugs used in peptic ulcer disease or PUD. To remind you of this, we want you to notice the giant sun burnt crater in the ground, which is similar to an ulcer in the stomach.
    PPIs: Omeprazole, Lansoprazole, Pantoprazole
    First up, are the proton pump inhibitors or PPIs, represented by Mr. Pretzel. Notice how Mr. Pretzel is combing his hair? “COMB PRETZEL” is Omeprazole. The lance in his hand, “LANCE PRETZEL” is Lansoprazole. Finally, Mr. Pretzel’s pants, “PANT PRETZEL” is Pantoprazole.
    The classic treatment for PUD is a “triple therapy”, which involves a PPI and two antibiotics, amoxicillin and clarithromycin. The OX is AmOXicillin and the CLARINET that the ox is playing is CLARithromycin.
    H2 Receptor Antagonists: Ranitidine, Cimetidine
    Next, we have the H2 Receptor Antagonists, represented by the cement statue of a running sardine. RUNNING SARDINE is ranitidine, and CEMENT SARDINE is cimetidine.
    Antacids: NaHCO3, CaCO3
    Some antacids used in PUD are sodium bicarbonate and calcium carbonate. This one is a bit funky as we used the chemical nomenclatures instead of their names. Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3), looks similar to the word NACHO, and calcium carbonate (CaCO3) looks similar to the word TACO. So, there’s our happy NACHO and TACO.
    Mucosal protectants: Misoprostol, Sucralfate
    Lastly, we have mucosal protectants. MISS PRETZEL is Misoprostol, and the sign for SUNSHINE STATE is Sucralfate.
    Alright folks, that’s it for this video! To learn more about visual mnemonics and PUD drugs, including mechanisms of action and side effects, please check out our website at VisualLearner.net. Happy studying!
