NSAIDs and DMARDs Flashcards
NSAIDs? DMARDs?
nonsteroidal anti inflammatory drugs
disease modifying antiherumatic drugs
NSAIDs use?
analgesic, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory
risk reduction for reinarction and stroke
closure of patent DA in neonates
treat biochemical degredation of Bartter’s syndrome
Chemoprevention of certain cancers such as colon cancer
NSAIDs all inhibit?
COX
inhibit prostaglandin synthesis largely responsible for therapeutic effect
no affect course of disease, just symptomatic relief
General side effect?
GI, Renal, CV, CNS
Cyclooxygenase forms?
COX1 COX2
COX-1?
constitutively expressed in most cells/tissues
important for normal homeostasis
COX-2?
mostly inducible
proinflammatory and mitogenic function
PGs in inflammatory sites (synociocytes, macrophages)
prevent proinflammatory cascade
Do you get platelet effect with COX-2?
no only COX-1
Joint inflammation from?
COX-2
Kidney damage?
both COX-1 and 2
inhibitors of both cause kidney damage
Nonselective inhibitors?
drugs tend to cause GI toxic, COX-1 inhibition
COX 2 selective?
better GI safety profile
Inhibition of PG synthesis impt in those?
who have stimulated PG synthesis
- renal disease
- Effective volume depletion
NSAIDs and renal function?
Acute renal failure -PGs normally oppose vasoconstriction, without goes unopposed Hyperkalemia Edema and Hyponatremia Increase BP
Acetylsalicylic acid?
ASA, aspirin
nonselective, irrverisble COX inhibitor
Non-acetlyated salicylates?
all else (but aspirin) non selective COX inhibitors reversible
Low dose aspirin?
cause antithromotic effects (anitplatelet)
High dose aspirin?
cause antiinflammatory effects
limited by toxicity
(interfere with uric acid elim and aggravate control of gout)
Salicylates Adverse effects?
GI toxic
increased bleeding time
renal toxic
liver toxic
Acute mild toxicity?
tinnitus (common)
headache, dizziness, drowsiness, mental confusion, sweating, nausea/vomit
Acid base abnormalities?
direct stim respiratory center
cause fall in CO2, respiratory alkalosis
componsated renal alkalosis
anion gap metabolic acidosis can follow
Acid/base in severe intox?
decrease respiration
respiratory acidosis
Aspirin toxicity treatment?
Decontaminate (activated charcoal, gastic levage) volume resuscitation suplemental glucose alkalization hemodialysis
