- analgesic, antipyretic
regular strength APAP dose
325-650 mg
q4-6 hours prn pain
extra strength APAP dose
1000 mg
q6 hr prn pain
Max daily dose APAP
4g otherwise OD! (adults)

3 main things to education pts about with tylenol
- liver warning
- alcoholic bev not recommended (esp. 3+ drinks)
- watch out combo products
alcoholics and APAP
dose lower assume already have some liver damage
APAP is metabolixed to
NAPQI (n-acetyle etc..)
how does viral illness impact APAP metablosims
increased risk toxicity if dehydrated
early sx APAP OD
N/V
AMS
metabolic acidosis
increased PT/INR (liver damage)
stage 1 APAP toxicity
asymptomatic
LFT normal
N/V, diaphoretic, pallor, malaise etc
stage 2 APAP tox
AST over 1000
RUQ pain
increased PT, bilirubin, sCr, BUN
proteinuria, hematuria, casts
stage 3 APAP tox
-max liver injury 72-96 hr post ingestion
-coma
-high ammonia level
-fatal 3-5 days post APAP OD
multiorgan failure
stage 4 APAP OD
recovery hepatic regeneration days to wks
APAP OD suspect first step?
- rumack matthew nomogram
- for acute OD in pt over 12
- estimate level of toxicity
- use w/in 4-24 hrs
- above line need NAC
NAC must be given w/in ___hrs of APAP OD
8
NAC adminstered
IV or oral
less ADR with oral
NSAIDS block __ enzymes
COX enzymes
COX enzymes do what
create prostaglandins
what do prostaglandins do
- released creating pain, inflammation, and pyretic properties
- induce uterine contractions with labor
- maintain renal blood flow (chronic NSAID use RF for renal ischemia AKI)
why no NSAID third trimester of pregnancy?
- can cause premature closure PDA
- impact placenta detachment
what is best pain reliever for post marathon pain?
APAP
- NSAID will block inflammatory response of muscle repair process, and will compromise blood flow to kidneys risk of renal ischemia
t/f enteric coated NSIADS should not be taken with milk or antacids
true
T/F nsaids take with food
yes decrease GI ADR
those that are on chronic NSAID what think about?
- GI Risk ulcers, dyspepsia, bleeds
- rx: PPIs to reduce risk
ASA/omeprazole
brand and indication?
brand: Yosprala
indicated for ppl who need ASA for CV risk but at risk for ulcers
G6PD what drugs avoid?
APAP NSAIDS FQ Sulfas dimenhydramine
can lead to hemolysis in pt who RBC already shorter lifespan
misoprostol brand
cytotec
misoprostol is a ___
synthetic prostaglandin E1 analog
misoprostol functions
- inhibits gastric acid secretion
- protects GI mucosa
- reduce incidence gastric and duodenal ulcers
- abortifacient
- teratogenic
how does misoprostol lead to abortion ?
induces labor
or
uterine rupture after 8 wk pregnant
if rx misoprostol what needs to be documented?
- advised pt risk abortion if pregnant
- do not share with others
- negative pregnancy test 2 wks prior to start
- pt capable comply with contraceptive measures
- pt got oral and written warnings of hazards
- pt will start misoprostol only on second or third day of next period
t/f celecoxib (celebrex) found to increase risk of CV events
yes
t/f diclofenac increase risk CV events
true 36%!!!
if have pt with high bp ask..?
are you taking NSAIDS?
all NSAIDS can increase BP
NSAID renal risk
AKI
hyperkalemia
Need to dose adjust for renal insufficiency
