anti inflammatories and related drugs (pharm at UVic) Flashcards
which NSAIDs are nonselective COXinhibitors
ibuprofen
diclofenac
aspirin
naroxen
which NSAIDs are selective COX2 inhibitors
celecoxib
which conditions are treatee by ASA, NSAIDS, acetaminophen
Bursitis Dysmenorrhea Fibromyalgia Gout Migraine Osteoarthritis RA Juvenile RA
which organ are NSAIDs hard on
kidneys
what is the prototype analgesic-antipyretic-antiinflm drug
ASA
other than ASA what drugs are analgesic-antipyretic-antiinflm drug
NSAIDs
acetaminophen
Drugs used to prevent or treat gout and migraine
are COX1 or COX 2 pathologic prostaglandins
what do they do
inflm
- vasodilation
- inc cap perm
- edema
- pain
leukocytosis\
activation of WBC to rel inflm cytokines
what does COX1 do and what are these aka
physiologica prostaglandins (aka)
GI protection
- dec gastric acid secretion
- inc mucus prod
- maint of GI mucosal perfusion
renal protection
-maint of renal perfusion
maint of renal fx
relaxes sm muscle tone
- vasodilation
- bronchodilation
regs platelet aggregation
what is primary dysmenorrhea d/t?
how is this involved/produced and what effect does it have?
**inc prostaglandins and vasopressin in primary dysmenorrhea -> **inc muscle contractions (cramping) and pain (make the uterine muscles contract and help the uterus shed the lining that has built up during the menstrual cycle. )
the prostaglandins are made in the uterus
if pain during menses why is this? in r/t prostaglandins
too many prostaglandins produced
what other conditions can prostaglandins produce
Prostaglandins can also cause headaches, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
TX of primary dysmenorrhea (meds)
NSAIDs (prostaglandin inhibitor) eg aspirin or ibuprofen
-naproxen sodium is stronger but requires a prescription
-extended cycle oral contraceptive (prevents excessive growth of uterine lining)
Tx of primary dysmenorrhea nonpharm
Therapies for primary dysmenorrhea include rest, heating pad to the lower abdomen or back, proper nutrition, aerobic exercise and medication. Nutrition therapy includes a well-balanced diet with an adequate intake of calcium (1000 mg. per day) and fluid intake of two quarts of water each day. Vitamin E about 500 units a day, Vitamin B1 about 100mg a day and Vitamin B6, 200 mg. each day, may occasionally be helpful.
when taking NSAIDs is it best with or without food
take w food to prevent GI upset
taking NSAIDS for dysmenorrhea what part of cycle is best?
specific dose?
- gen started 1-3 days prior to menstruation
- sometimes nec to take one of several NSAIDs until one with ma efficacy is found
how does hormonal alteration for dysmenorrhea alter pain
hormonal contraception prevents ovulation which dec thickness of uterine lining resulting in fewer prostaglandins
what is Depo-Provera and a consideration for this
it is a BC shot you get q10-12 wks
-MUST get adequate Ca2+ 1000mg
what kind of half-life do NSAIDs have
varies from short (less than hr) to longer than 12hrs
protein binding and NSAids
what % are bound
heavily bound
60-90%
