22
Q

APAP SE

A

N/V, HA, ALT elevation, hepatic injury (rar), SJS, TEN (skin rxns)

23
Q

APAP high risk populations

A

pt with prior liver disease, acute or chronic alcohol users at risk for liver damage

24
Q

NSAID SE

A

Dizziness, fatigue, nervousness, HA, N, ulcer, bleeding, increased risk of CV event (ore than with Naproxen)

25
Q

NSAID high risk population

A

Renal injury more common if elderly, HTN, DM, on diuretics, or atherosclerosis

26
Q

ASA SE

A

N/V, dyspepsia, gastritis, ulceration, bleeding, renal, Reye’s (under 19)

27
Q

ASA high risk population

A

Renal injury more common if elderly, HTN, DM, on diuretics, or atherosclerosis

28
Q

NSAIDs, Salicylates, and GI irritation

A

increase gastric acid secretion
reduce bicarb and mucus production
gastric erosion, ulcers, and bleed at higher doses

29
Q

NSAIDs, Salicylates, and Kidney function

A

Reduced GFR, reduced urinary sodium excretion.

Stay away from NSAIDs in pt with risk of kidney disease

30
Q

NSAIDs and CV safety

A

risk depends on dose, duration, and frequency in addition to prior hx.
- potential to increase BP, exacerbate heart failure
- anti-platelet effects if given with ASA
Naproxen may have lower risk

31
Q

ASA/NSAID sensitvity

A

COX inhibition shifts balance of production towards leukotriene = bronchial spasms
Effects:
Rhinitis with nasal polyps
Asthma exacerbation

32
Q

Salicylates Labeling

A
  • name of salicylate
  • warning for Reye’s syndrome
  • potential for allergic rxn
  • potential for stomach bleed in: age >60, hx of ulcers/bleeds, > 3 drinks/day
33
Q

NSAIDs Labeling

A
  • name of NSAID
  • potential for allergic rxn, especially if allergic to ASA
  • potential for stomach bleed (same population as ASA)
34
Q

APAP and Hepatotoxicity

A
  • Uncommon at recommended dose
