DYSPEPSIA (Indigestion) - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Above umbilicus and centrally located (epigastric area) - dyspepsia
      - If below umbilicus not dyspepsia
    - - Debilitating or severe pain must be reffered to avoid seious condition
    - - Pain shortly after eating (1-3hr)
      - Relieved by food or antacid
    - - Pain associated with dyspepsia - aching / discomfort
      - Pain as gnawing, sharp/ stabbing - unlikely to be dyspepsia
  - - - Cause indigestion
- - - - MOA: Antacids contain alkaline ions that chemically neutralize stomach gastric acid, reducing damage and relieving pain
      - Indication : Taken about an hour after meals
      - Examples: Axcel Cimetidine
    - - MOA: Absorbable antacid with fast-acting effect
      - Example : Magnesium Trisilicate
      - Indication : appropriate for acute dyspepsia rather than chronic dyspepsia
    - - MOA : Aluminium based antacids. The proton binding serves to increase the overall pH of the stomach, reducing the symptoms of indigestion
      - Example: Axcel Eviline
    - - MOA : potent acid neutralizers than Aluminium
      - Indication : Taken on an empty stomach, 5-10 mL as required
      - Example: Zellox-II
    - - MOA: act quickly & has a prolonged action, and is a potent neutralizer of acid.
      - Indication: used as an antacid to relieve heartburn, acid indigestion, and upset stomach.
    - - MOA: Reduce surface tension and allows easier elimination of gas from the gut by passing flatus or eructation.
      - Have a defoaming properties
    - - MOA: First line treatment for patient suffering from GORD. When in contact with gastric acid, the alginates precipitates out, forming a sponge-like matrix that floats on top of the stomach contents.
      - Commonly combined with antacids to help neutralize the stomach acid
    - - indication : for non-ulcer dyspepsia and GORD-like symptoms
