Q

NSAID MOA

A

Anti inflammatory: nsaid decreases prostaglandins synthesis via inhibitions of cox1 and cox2 ( non selective)

  • ASA irreversibly binds to receptors
  • Ibuprofen, ketoprofen, naproxen reversible binds to receptors

Analgesic and antipyretic Activity: inhibit the production of prostaglandin synthesis resulting in reduced nonciceptor sensitization and increase pain threshold.

  • temperature-inhibition of PGE2
  • Analgesic-inhibition of PGE and PGF

Platelet Effect: the inhibition of platelet aggregation

Q

Camphor MOA

A

Concentrations 0.1-3% depress cutaneous receptors( Used as analgesic,antipyretic, anesthetic)
Concentrations more than 3% stimulates nerve endings in the skin and induce pain relieve and discomfort by Making Moderate-severe deeper visceral pain with a milder pain arising From the skin at the level of innervation
When applied vigorously, it produces a rubefacient rxn

89

Initial feelings of coolness followed by sensation of warmth

91

Hypersensitivity or Sensitization

92
Q

Methyl nicotinate MOA

Do not touch sensitive areas (eyes) or apply to Wounds for damage skin
Discontinue temporarily of skin breakdown occurs (Read, weeping, small ulcers).

97

Trolamine Salicylate dosing

A

10-15% concentration applied to affected area not more Than 3 to 4 times a day
For adults and children more than two years old
