Q

other SE of NSAID’s

A

  2. ↑ lithium concentrations
  3. hyperkalemia
  4. GI bleeding
  5. ↑BP
  6. ↓GFR
17
Q

What is Celecoxib

A

selective, reversible inhibition of COX-2 enzyme

18
Q

what are the functions of Celecoxib?

A

analgesic
anti-pyretic
anti-inflammatory

19
Q

what are the adverse effects of Celecoxib

A

GI irritation (milder effect compared to the non-selective)
renal damage
prothrombotic effect
sulfonamide hypersensitivity

20
Q

at what doses are acetaminophen safe?

A

<4g/day (adult)

21
Q

what is the #1 cause of acute liver failure in western countries?

A

Acetaminophen

22
Q

management of acetaminophen toxicity

A

N-acetylcysteine

*within 12 hours of overdose

23
Q

indications for Acetaminophen (Paracetamol)

A
  1. analgesic and antipyretic effect (inhibits cyclooxygenases in the CNS)
  2. aspirin substitute
  3. osteoarthritis and RA–> slight anti-inflammatory effect (no COX inhibition in the periphery)

NO anti-platelet effects

24
Q

what drug for pain can be given to pregnant women?

A

acetaminophen

*NSAID’s shouldn’t be given!!

25
Q

list the agents used for acute gout attack

A
  1. NSAID’s: indomethacin, Naproxen
  2. Corticosteroids: prednisone
  3. microtubule assembly inhibitors: colchicine
26
Q

how is colchicine given?

A

oral or parenteral

27
Q

what is the mechanism of colchicine (as a microtubule assembly inhibitor)?

A

bind to tubulin–> altered microtubular polymerization–> LTB₄ ↓–> altered leukocyte and granulocyte migration

28
Q

what agent has a more potent effect- indomethacin or Naproxen

A

indomethacin

29
Q

when do we give prednisone in acute gout attacks?

A

when NSAID’S are contraindicated

30
Q

how is prednisone given for acute gout?

A

intra-articular injection

oral (up to 5 days course treatment)

31
Q

what are the indications of colchicine other than acute gout

A

chronic gout-low doses
familial Mediterranean fever
management of pericardial diseases (pericarditis, pericardial effusion)

32
Q

side effects of colchicine

A

acute: severe diarrhea, GI pain

longer use: hematuria, alopecia, myelosuppression gastritis, peripheral neuropathy

33
Q

what are the agents used for chronic gout?

A
  1. Xanthine oxidase inhibitors: Allopurinol

2. recombinant urate oxidase: Rasburicase

34
Q

what are the indications for giving allopurinol and Rasburicase?

A

chronic gout
adjunct to cancer chemotherapy and radiotherapy
(‘tumor lysis syndrome’ may precipitate gout attack)

35
Q

side effects of allopurinol

A

GI irritation
hypersensitivity reaction, SJS syndrome
bone marrow suppression

36
Q

what are the side effects of Rasburicase?

A

anaphylactic reaction

methemoglobinemia in patients with G6PD

37
Q

allopurinol inhibits the metabolism of..

38
Q

What is the mechanism of allopurinol?

A

inhibit xanthine oxidase–> ↓ purine metabolism –> serum uric acid ↓

39
Q

what is the mechanism of Rasburicase

A

it’s a urate oxidase enzyme that catalyzes the metabolism of uric acid to allantoin–> ↓ serum uric acid
