MSK NSAIDs Flashcards
clinical effects of COXi
COX1 : anti-plt
COX1-2: antipyretic, analgesic (CNS)
COX2: anti-inflam, analgesic
ADR of COXi
COX1: GI, renal, bleed
COX2: renal, reproductive
wound healing (induced)
eg of NSAIDs
Non selective
* Irreversible COX inhibitors: aspirin
*Reversible COX inhibitors: ibuprofen, naproxen, diclofenac
COX2 selective coxibs: celecoxib, etoricoxib
pathway of phospholipase A2 –> Arachidonic acid
(diff enzymes act on AA)
1) 15-lipoxygenase –> lipoxins
2) cyclooxygenase –> prostanoids
3) 5-lipoxygenase –> leukotrienes
EICOSANOID (inflam and immune response)
COX pathways (diff prostanoids)
diff cells have diff isomerases, tissue signalling etc
1) prostacyclin PGI2 – vasodil, inhibit PLT activation
2) prostaglandins PGE2 – vasodil, pain, vascular perm
3) thromboanes TXA2 – vasoconstrict, pLT aggre
diff wound diff prostanoids eg
Open wound, bleeding: more thromboxanes TXA2 (THROMBO = THROMBOSIS)
Closed wound, infection: more prostacyclin
(PGI2 = INHIBIT PLT AGGRE)
non selective COX MOA
1) anti-inflam
2) analgesic
3) antipyretic
4) antiplt
anti-inflam
PGI2, PGE2
* Typical NSAIDs block
* Vasodilation: heat, redness, swelling
* Decr vascular permeability: swelling
* Inflammation: Pain
analgesic
- Typical NSAID block production of PG, sensitise nociceptive fibres to stimulation by other inflammatory mediators
- Block sensitisation (not nociceptive inactivation)
- Tissue injury produce bradykinin, leukotrienes + PROSTAGLANDINS (potentiates pain)
- NSAIDS block PG production
- Additional analgesic actions in CNS
Analgesic ceiling: when pain > mild-mod
Bradykinin and leukotrienes, ATP, K trigger nerve terminal > blocked PG
* Brain still interprets the pain signals
Antipyretic
- Inhibit production of prostaglandins (PGE2) in brain
○ Infection, tissue damage, inflamm
–> neutrophils –> cytokines (IL1) –> COX –> PGE2 (hypothalamus) –> incr temp - No effect on body temp if no fever
antiplt (irreversible)
- PLT COX (inhibit production of TXA2 – promote pLT aggregation)
○ Restored only by new formation of PLT (1-2wks) - Endothelial cells COX (inhibit PGI2 – this stops the endo function of inhibiting PLT aggregation, PROMOTES NOW)
○ But can be restored by synthesis of new COX enzyme (hrs)
○ Inhibit PLT > endo (overall antiplt effect)
ADR of aspirin
- COX inhibition (80-325mg)
- GI intolerance
- bleed
- hypersnsitive - salicylate toxicity (>1g)
- tinnitus
- renal and resp failure- Central hyperventilation
- Respiratory alkalosis
- Fever, dehydration
- Metabolic acidosis
- Respiratory acidosis
- Hypoprothrombinemia
- Vasomotor collapse
- Coma
GI when > __ days
○ PG normal function INHIBITED:
* Reduce gastric acid secretions
* Incr mucosal blood flow
* Incr secretion of mucus
* Incr secretion of bicarbonate
○ Typical NSAIDs lead to:
* Dyspepsia, NV, ulcer formation and potential haemorrhage risk in chronic users
* Peptic ulcers risk if use > 5days
risk factors for GI ADR
i. >65yo
ii. Hx of ulcer
iii. Use of high dose/chronic NSAIDs
iv. Concurrent CS/ antiplt/ anticoag
High risk: ≥3/4 risk factors. OR complicated ulcer (ulcer + bleed)
manage + refer GI ADR
- Manage: + PPI/ switch to coxib (ibuprofen > naproxen. Coxib. Parace)
- Urgent referral if on NSAID +
i. Fatigue sx
ii. Severe dyspepsia
iii. Sign of GI bleed (black, tarry stool)
iv. Unexplained blood loss, anemia
v. Fe deficiency
renal ADR moa
Inhibition of both PGE2 and PGI2 production alters renal blood flow dynamics
- (PGE2 inhibited): Na retention –> water retention –> peripheral oedema –> hypertension
* Thick ascending limb (TAL) 25% of Na reasorbed - (PGI2 inhibited): suppression of renin & aldosterone secretion –> hyperK –> acute renal failure
* Less Aldosterone (1-2% Na NOT reabsorption in DCT)
*Less K+ excretion in blood = HyperK
triple whammy drugs
- NSAIDs (inhibit COX1/ COX2) prevent vasodil of afferent arteriole)
- Diuretics (reduce renal blood flow)
- ACEi (inhibit angiotensin converting enzyme, prevent vasoconstriction of efferent arteriole)
risk factors for renal ADR
- incr age > 65yo (HTN, atherosclerosis)
- pre-existing glomerular disease/ renal insuff
- vol depletion (loss, effective - HF)
- ACEi, ARB
- triple whammy
- severe hyper Ca, renal art stenosis
- incr age > 65yo (HTN, atherosclerosis) and AKI
narrow renal arterioles, reduce capacity for renal afferent dilation
- pre-existing glomerular disease/ renal insuff
and AKI
renal afferent dilation required to maintain GFR
- vol depletion (loss, vol depletion - HF) and AKI
loss - GI, renal salts, water/ blood loss, diuretics
depletion - HF, cirrhosis , nephrotic syndrome
- lowers afferent glomerular arteriolar pressure, stimulates secretion of ANG II
