Non-Opioid Analgesics - NSAIDs/APAP Flashcards
major target for NSAIDs
COX 2
how is PG synthesis inhibited
inhibiting COX 1 AND COX 2
beneficial and risky
3 eicosanoids
PG
thromboxanes
LT
3 non selective COX inhibitors
ibuprofen
naproxen
ketorolac (toradol)
2 selective COX 2 inhibitors
celecoxib
APAP
harmful actions mediated by COX 2 eicosanoids that are mediated by NSAIDs
pain
inflammation
fever
beneficial actions of COX-1 eicosanoids that are diminished by NSAID use
kidney -> diuresis
secretions -> GI
platetelets -> pro -> clotting
inhibitory effects of NSAIDs on beneficial effects of COX 2 (5)
GI ulceration/bleeding
renal dysfxn
increased risk of thrombotic events
delayed labor
bad effects of NSAIDs are most critical in
elderly pt’s w. deteriorating renal fxn
2 main ways non opioid analgesics classified
selectivity → COX 1 vs COX 2
reversible vs irreversible inhibition
4 major groups of non opioid analgesics
NSAIDs
celecoxib
APAP
ASA
which non opioid analgesics are reversible
NSAIDs
celecoxib
APAP
which non opioid analgesic is irreversible
ASA
which non opioid analgesics inhibit COX 1 AND COX 2
NSAIDs → reversible
ASA → irreversible
celecoxib and APAP inhibit
COX 2
reversible
where does APAP inhibit COX 2
CNS
major dose dependent therapeutic uses of COX -2 inhibitors
analgesia
antipyretic
AI
which effect of COX-2 inhibitors requires the highest dose
anti-inflammatory
effect of COX-1 inhibitors that requires low daily dosing
antithrombotic
common s.e of COX inhibitors
GI ulceration → COX 1
increased bleeding risk → COX 1
delayed labor → COX 2
increased thrombotic events → COX 2
renal dysfxn → COX 1 and COX 2
which COX are found in the kidney
COX 1 AND COX 2
3 clinical uses of NSAIDs (NS COX inhibitors)
pain
antipyretic
anti-inflammatory
t/f: NSAIDs are as effective or superior to ASA and APAP for pain of inflammatory origin (muscle/dental/arthritis)
T!
what NSAID is available IM/IV for postop pain
ketorolac
which NSAID is available as a solution for pediatric fever
ibuprofen
APAP
t/f: NSAIDs are as effective or superior to ASA/APAP for antipyretic effects
T!
t/f: efficacies of NSAIDs/APAP/ASA are similar for anti-inflammatory effects
F!
is absorption of NSAIDs affected by food
no
NSAIDs are distributed to __ after repeated dosees
synovial fluid
metabolism/elimination of NSAIDs
metabolism: liver (CYP enzymes) →
elimination: renal
list NSAIDs in order of shortest to longest t½
ibuprofen
celecoxib
naproxen
