children
Cox2 inhibitor
increased risk of CV events
Celecoxib
*Can cause premature closing of ductus
increased risk of CV events - may be pro-thrombotic
Celecoxib
Cox2 inhibitor
Inflammation
Pain
Fever
Decreased platelet aggregation
COX-2
Therapeutic Actions
– both centrally and peripherally
– results from inhibition of PG synthesis in inflamed tissues; - - mild to moderate pain; much less than produced by opioids
Analgesia (inability to feel pain)
Therapeutic Actions
fever, heat stroke, inc. temp are hypothalamic problems releasing interleukins
Antipyretic action
Therapeutic Actions
PGs in inflammation lead to vasodilation and inc. vascular permeability; inhibition of PGs by NSAIDS attenuates (reduce) inflammation; inhibit leukotriene pathway
Anti-inflammatory action
Therapeutic Actions
– inhibits platelet aggregation
Antiplatelet action
Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) – treatment of muscle pain; Interactions – warfarin, phenytoin, sulfonamides, cephalosporins, lithium
Indomethacin (Indocin) - Used for treatment of acute gout attacks
Ketorolac (Toradol) – powerful analgesic, short term use only (< 5 days); IV followed by PO if needed
Meloxicam (Mobic) – pain of osteoarthritis, musculo-skeletal;
Naproxen (Naprosyn, Aleve) – musculoskeletal pain, longer half-life so less frequent dosing
Non-selective NSAIDS
Drug Interactions
Mechanism
Displacement – additive effect
Anti-
coagulants

Lithium
