Q

Avoid oral diclofenac due to…

A

increased CV events
Causes more liver toxicity
More GI toxicity

topical is still okay

Q

How to protect Ulcer/Bleed from NSAIDs

A

Enteric coating, buffering, SR DO NOT PROTECT FROM BLEEDING

using Selective NSAID (COX - 2 inhibitor) can help

negative effects due to COX-1 inhibition

16
Q

Selective NSAID ulcer protection

A

Celecoxib

NTE: 200mg/day

If used with ASA, GI benefit is negated

Can also do a PPI add on, misoprostol, or high dose H2 blocker

17
Q

Non-selective NSAID ulcer protection

A

Ibuprofen likely more safe for GI compared to other non-selective NSAIDs

PPI add on is best, can also do misoprostol, or high dose H2 blocker

18
Q

When to stop NSAID prior to procedure?

A

Cox-2 inhibitor = stop day before

Non-selective NSAID = D/x 7 days prior

19
Q

Likely Safer nonselective NSAID for CV risk?

A

Naproxyn

20
Q

NSAIDs are CI in what surgery?

A

CABG

21
Q

Low CV Risk, Low GI Risk give….

A

Celecoxib or other low-risk NSAID

22
Q

Low CV risk, Moderate GI risk give…

A
  1. Celecoxib alone

2. NSAID + PPI, misoprostol, or double dose H2-blocker (2nd line)

23
Q

Low CV risk, High GI risk give…

A
  1. Avoid NSAID if possible

2. Celecoxib + PPI or misoprostol

24
Q

High CV risk, Low GI risk give….

A

Naproxen or low-dose celecoxib

If on ASA = naproxen + PPI

25
Q

High CV risk, Moderate GI risk give…

A
  1. Naproxen + PPI, misoprostol, or double dose H2-blocker

2. Low dose Celecoxib

26
Q

High CV risk, High GI risk give…

A

Avoid NSAIDs

27
Q

Low GI risk =

A

without risk factors

28
Q

Moderate GI risk =

A

1 or 2 risk factors

29

h/o complicated or recent ulcer, with more than 2 risk factors

30
Q

GI risk factors

A

uncomplicated peptic ulcer history
Concomitant use of ASA, Anticoagulants, corticosteroids

A

Take ASA first, NSAID 2nd and separate…dont take within 2hrs

33
Q

Concurrent drugs that increase bleeding risk with NSAIDs

A

anticoagulants
Steroids
SSRIs

34

A

Elderly
Decreased renal function
Volume depletion secondary to diuretics, cirrhosis or HF

35

Diuretics
ACEi/ARBs
All ant-HTN meds
May inc toxicity of lithium and methotrexate
