    PPI medications inhibit the enzyme that generates gastric acid, helping to treat GERD. Combination drug therapy including amoxicillin, clarithromycin, and metronidazole is used to eradicate H. pylori infections. Bisacodyl acts by stimulating nerves in the colon wall to increase peristalsis. Sulfasalazine can cause yellowish/orange skin and urine in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Vincristine chemotherapy can cause alopecia as a side effect. Cisplatin chemotherapy can cause photosensitivity as a side effect. Leucovorin should be available when administering methotrexate chemotherapy to avoid toxicity.
