Lecture 3 Flashcards
NSAID that IRREVERSIBLY acetylates cyclooxegenase activity and affects prostaglandins. respiratory acidoses at suicide doses
Aspirin
Roles of Aspirin at High dose
anti inflammatory, protective against MI, decrease risk of stroke and colon cancer
Roles of Aspirin at Low dose
anti pyretic, analgesic, diminish risk of MI
Side effect caused by NSAIDS but not aspirin
nephritis of kidney
Fatal fulminating hepatitis with cerebral edema and death, typically in children, from use of aspirin in children
Reyes syndrome
Mild intoxication from aspirin- nausea, vomits
salicylism
severe intoxication from aspirin, vasomotor collapse, respiratory acidoses, coma, die from suffocation
salicylate intoxication
Drug category with reversible inhibition of cyclooxegenase, so that eicosanoids are not formed
NSAIDs
Family of NSAIDS including ibuprofen, naproxen, fenprofen, ketoprofen, flurbiprofen, oxaprozin, widely used in rheumatoid arthritis and aklylosing spodilitis because GI effects less toxic than aspirin
Propionic acid derivatives
Acetic acid derivative NSAIDs, this drug is more potent than aspirin, but toxic at high doses, effective analgesic for uveitis and post operative opththalmic procedures, anti pyretic for hodgkins, delay labor contractions
Indometacin
Once per day oxicam derviatives for RA and ankylosing spondilytis
Peroxicam and Meloxicam
oxicam derivative eliminated through urine only
Peroxicam
oxicam derivative eliminated 50/50 urine and feces
Meloxicam
Heterodaryl acetic acid that is more potent than indomethacin and naproxin, used in the same way for RA, ankylosing spondylitis, asteoarthritis
Diclofenac
Heterodaryl acetic acid used topically for allergic conjunctivitis, prone to abuse so not readily available, cannot be used with analgesics as can cause upper GI bleeding
Keterolac
Heterodaryl acetic acid that is as efective as aspirin for RA but has fewer side effects
Nabumetone
Heterodaryl acetic acid that is 3-4x as potent than aspirin as analgesic and anti inflammatory, but has NO antipyretic effect- does not cross BBB
Diflunisal
COX 2 selective NSAID that is approved for osteoarthritis and is NOT AN ANALGESIC, does not interfere with platelet function. Contraindicated in pts allergic to sulfonamides, lowest incidence of gastro duadenal ulcers compared to other NSAIDS
Celecoxib
non narcotic analgesic DOC for fever and pain in children, but no anti inflammatory effect, no interference with platelet function, toxic at high doses, hepatotoxic at suicide doses
Acetominophen
What is the antidote for acetaminophen intoxication?
N-Acetyl cysteine
DOC for severe rheumatoid or psoriatic arthritis, taken once a week, can cause cytopenia, acute pneumonia-like syndrome (lung fibrosis), also an anti cancer drug
Methrotrexate
Immunomodulatory agent that arrests lymphocytes, slows progression of structural damage in RA, lacks analgesic and anti inflammatory properties, reversible inhibition of dihydroorotate dehydrogenase, avoided in potential child bearing mothers
Leflunomide
anti malaria drug used in combo with methrotrexate to treat RA unresponsive to NSAIDS
Hydroxychloroquine
