A

Ibuprofen or Celecoxib

27
Q

Acetaminophen route

A

PO, IV, rectal

28
Q

Acetaminophen indication

A

Analgesia and Anti-pyretic

Combo with NSAIDs to reduce risk

29
Q

Acetaminophen AE

A

Hepatotoxicity

Metabolized in 3 ways (3rd is hepatotoxic)

30
Q

Acetaminophen MOA

A

inhibits prostoglandin synthesis in CNS

31
Q

What population is this the safest?

A

Elderly

32
Q

What are the two types of neuropathic pain?

A

Stimulus independent and stimulus dependent (If I don’t know the meaning, its stimulus-dependent)

33
Q

What is the first line of treatment for neuropathic pain

A

A

dizziness and drowsiness

35
Q

What is intraarticular hyaluronate

A

Injection used to provide joint lubrication

36
Q

What is RA

A

Chronic, progressive, systemic inflammatory disease

autoimmune disease

37
Q

What are the 2 main drug groups to treat RA

A

Non-biologic and biologic (TNF inhibitor and non-TNF inhibitor) DMARD

38
Q

Drugs in each of these groups:

  1. Non biologic DMARD
  2. Biologic TNF inhibitor DMARD
  3. Biologic non-TNF inhibitor DMARD
A
1.
Hydroxychloroquine 
Sulfasalazine
Methotrexate (MTX)
2.
Adalimumab
Etanercept
3.
Rituximab
39
Q

What is the gold standard for RA?

A

Methotrexate

40
Q

Combo of MTX+ another DMARD

A

Can improve efficacy but also toxicity

41
Q

What is the purpose of corticosteroids?

A

Short term treatment of RA

42
Q

Routes for corticosteroids?

A

PO and intraarticular

43
Q

Corticosteroid MOA?

A

decrease inflammation and suppresses immune system

44
Q

Corticosteroid long term vs short term AE

A

short term:
increase blood glucose, mood changes, fluid retention

long term:
osteoporosis/↑fracture risk, thin skin, muscle wasting, poor wound healing, adrenal suppression, Cushing’s disease, ↑ risk of infection due to immunosuppression

45
Q

MTX MOA

A

unknown in RA, possibly by impacting IL-1 (interleukin), TNF-alpha and leukotriene levels

46
Q

MTX route

A

PO once weekly

47
Q

MTX common AE

A

N/V/D, alopecia, malaise

48
Q

MTX less common AE

A

↑ liver function tests (LFTs), hepatotoxicity, nephrotoxicity, thrombocytopenia, bone marrow suppression

49
Q

Hydroxychloroquine MOA

A

impacts mediators of inflammatory response

50
Q

Hydroxychloroquine route

A

PO

51
Q

retinal toxicity

53
Q

Hydroxychloroquine indication

A

RA, Lupus, Malaria

Q

What do both non-TNF and TNF inhibitor’s MOA act on
