Q

COX pathways (diff prostanoids)

A

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

Q

analgesic

A
  • 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

Q

Antipyretic

A
  • 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

Q

antiplt (irreversible)

A
  • 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)

Q

renal ADR moa

A

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

  • with aspirin (irreversible COX inhibitor, stronger effect)
  • Surgical procedures when pt on NSAID
  • Risk in combi w/ antiplt therapy (clopi or aspirin)
29
Q

other COX1 inhibitors

    • T1/2: 12-14hrs
    • Indication: dysmenorrhea, MSK
  • Indomethacin

    • Indication: MSK (RA, OA). Accumulates in synovial fluid, longer t1/2
    • ADR: low GI risk
30
Q

COX2 selective

A

etoricoxib (more gi SAFE) –> celecoxib (LESS)

cox2: anti-inflam, analgesic > anti-plt effect

31
Q

COX 1 VS COX2

A

cox1: TXA2, PGI2, PGE2 (housekeeping pathway)
cox2: PGI2, PGE2 (inflamm, tissue repair pathway)

32
Q

limitations of cox2 selectivity

A

cox2 also found in CNS, KIDNEY, FEMALE REPRO TRACT, SYNOVIUM

1) renal toxicity by COX2i too
2) delay follicular rupture, effect on ovulation (less likely preg)
3) premature close ductus arteriosus (fatal lung bypass) in late preg
4) wound healing slowed (exacerbate ulcers)
- cox1 cause ulcer. stop . start cox2 after healed

5) incr risk of thrombosis

33
Q

incr risk of thrombosis due to

A

heart attack and stroke warning
* renal effect ===> HTN
* prothrombic effects (incr TXA2, more plt aggregation)

  • shortest duration (=/<5d)
  • initiate NSAID+ paracetamol —> para only
  • seek advice if needed =/> 5d
  • not to take w/ food (reduce absorption rate, delay peak conc ) decr efficacy
    – but can reduce gI discomfort
38
Q

paracetamol MOA
adv

A

MOA: poorly understood, involve CNS-selective COX inhibitors

Advantages:
* Good analgesic
* Potent antipyretic
* Spare GIT
* SE few and uncommon
* Few DDI

39
Q

paracetamol DISADV

A

Weak anti-inflamm
NOT ant-inflamm at clinical doses

40
Q

when to combine para + NSAID

A
  • Antipyretic: used alternate
    ○ Similar dosing freq 4-6h, can be alternated in 2-3hr
    ○ Sustained antipyretic effect
  • Pain: used tgt
    ○ Longer and stronger effect. Synergistic effect
41
Q

paracetamol indications

A
  • Mild-mod pain when NSAIDs inappropriate
  • Analgesic & antipyretic action with low incidence of ADR
  • Available in many formulations, strengths & combi
42
Q

ADR of paracetamol

A

1) Toxic dose cause N,V, liver damage

  • Hepatotoxicity should not occur at therapeutic doses in otherwise healthy indiv
  • Exacerbated by overdose, chronic alc use/ abuse
    ○ Incr toxic metabolite — Glutathione depleted
    ○ Replenish with N-acetyl-cysteine

2) Allergic skin reaction may occur

43
Q

caution for paracetamol use

A

Caution:
- Hepatic dysfunction
- Alcohol

Dose reduction:
- Certain circumstances (underweight, sig liver disease, cachectic, frail)

Overdose:
- Can lead to liver damage
- Refer =/> 10g / 24hr to ED
- Incr risk of harm with doses =/> 4g/ 24hr
- 500mg-1g QDS (narrow TI for liver toxicity)

44
Q

manage allergic reaction (IgE) true

A

posible rxn include urticaria, angioedema, anaphylaxis

  • avoid all NSAISs, coxibs if anaphylaxis
45
Q

manage pseudoallergic

A

non immunogenic, related to COX1 inhibition
* possible rxn (aaspirin exacerbated resp disease), bronchospasm - hx of asthma/ urticaria/ angioedema

  • MAY same rxn across diff non-selective NSAID (avoid)
  • coxibs use cautiously
46
Q

BP manage

A

monitor BP
discontinue/ lower NSAID dose if bP incr

47
Q

skin reaction management

A

more likely with
- oxicam, sulindac, diflunisal

48
Q

haematologic effects management

A
  • inhibit PLT function
    stop 3d prior to surgery
    aspirin 1 wk prior
49
Q

CNS complaints management

A

cause drowsy, dizzy, headache, tinnitus

(take ON)

50
Q

Opioid analgesics rank

A

(weak) Tramadol, codeine, morphine, oxycodone, fentanyl (STRONG)

51
Q

opioid MOA

A
  • Opioids are NOT anti-inflammatory
  • MOA: work on transmission of pain signals in nerves

tramadol (inhibits ascending and descending pain pathways)
* reuptake of NE and 5HT, involved in the descending inhibitory pain pathway responsible for pain relief

52
Q

opioid variability in response

A
  • Strong opioids: stronger analgesic and ADR effect
    • Response variable: CYP2D6 polymorphism
      ○ Metabolising amt: eg 15% codeine –> morphine
      ○ Will have stronger analgesic effect than if only 10% convert to morphine

CYP2D6i: Fluoxetine, Paroxetine, Duloxetine, Bupropion

53
Q

pt use opioid caution

A
  • Lowest effective doses or weakest effective opioid for shortest duration
  • Ensure pt is well educated on use, storage and risk of ADR
  • Unused px opioid be misused by others –> risk of addiction
54
Q

indication for opioid use

A
  • Not 1st line for pain
  • NSAIDs (with/ without paracetamol) are often more effective > opioid combi for pain assoc with acute inflamm
55
Q

ADR of opioid

A
  • GI effects (NVC)
  • Hormonal effects
  • Depression
  • Respiratory effects
  • Overdose and death
  • Sedation/ drowsiness (result in accidents, Falls)
  • Tolerance, physical dependence, addiction, withdrawal
  • Opioid-induced hyperalgesia

80% of pt long term opioids will develop at least 1 opioid-induced ADR
* Sig risk of ADR, diversion, opioid (for shortest duration)
* Risk of addiction & abuse, sedation
* Overdose: respiratory depression

56
Q

risk factor for opioid ADR

A
  • combi with other CNS depressants (alc, BZP, gabapentins, antidep)
  • other comorb (mental health)
  • renal, hep insuff, age > 65yo
  • preg
  • presonal/ fam hx of sub abuse
  • previous use of opioid
    * incr risk with incr dose and duration of use
    * risk of diversion (others abuse)
    * risk of opioid use disorder
