CD

17
Q

What is the most common affected site in CD?

A

terminal ileum

18
Q

What is the active and inactive component of sulfasalazine?

A

inactive = sulfapyridine (associated with ADRs)
active = 5-ASA (mesalamine)

19
Q

What dosage forms is mesalamine typically in? Which dosage form is usually most effective?

A

-topical (enema)
-suppository
-oral DR/CR tablet

topical is generally more effective than oral

20
Q

ASA agents - ADRs

A

N/V, headache, anorexia, rash

Q

How to avoid ADRs with ASA agents

A

initiate at low dose and increase slowly over 1-2 weeks

22
Q

ASA agents drug interactions

-antiplatelets/anticoagulants
-NSAIDs
-> may increase bleeding risk
-agents affecting gastric pH (PPIs, H2RAs, antacids) - could affect release of drug
