This document is a table summarizing 5 common diseases of the digestive system, the drugs used to treat each disease, the type of drug, and the pharmaceutical action of the drug. The diseases included are colitis, gastritis, cirrhosis, gastroesophageal reflux, and celiac disease. For each disease, the table lists the name of a drug used for treatment, categorizes the drug type, and provides a brief description of the drug's pharmaceutical mechanism of action.

2023-D1 Diseases Drug Type of drug pharmaceutical action
Colitis Prednisolone Corticosteroids Inhibition of the synthesis of
prostaglandins and leukotrienes, substances that mediate vascular and cellular processes of inflammation Gastritis Omeprazole Proton pump Inhibit H+ -K + -ATPase inhibitors (proton pump) which is the common terminal step in aa the three secretagogues to release hydrogen ion into the gastric lumen. Cirrhosis Disulfiram Drugs used for alcohol Inhibits the action of the dependence enzyme aldehyde dehydrogenase, necessary for alcohol metabolism Gastroesophageal Metoclopramide Antiemetic, prokinetic Centrally, metoclopoamide reflux antagonizes the action of dopamine. Peripherally metoclopoamide stimulates the release of acetylcholine, which in turn, increases the rate of gastric emptying Celiac disease Azatioprina Immunosuppressants Inhibition of multiple pathways in the biosynthesis of nucleic acids, thus preventing the proliferation of cells involved in the determination and amplification of the immune response.
