pc term 2 Flashcards
what do NSAIDs block
- vasodilation
- increase vascular permeability
- reduce pain associated w inflam
side fx of NSAIDS
dyspepsia, nausea, vomitting gastric ulcer hemorrhagic risk sodium and water retention, edema, htn, hyperK pseudo allergic rxn
aspirin moa
non selective irreversible COX inhib
mostly used for its antiplatelet purposes
inhib txA2 synthesis in platelet
diclofenec
short t1/2 NSAID
drug accm in synovial fluid, gd for joint
non selective NSAIDs
ketoprofen piroxicam aspirin naproxen indomethacin diclofenec
coxibs
mefenamic acid meloxicam celecoxib parecoxib etoricoxib
unwanted fx of coxibs
- renal toxicity
- premature closure of ductus arteriosus
- contraindicated in third trimester
- impaired wound healing, exacerbate ulcers
- bruising
NSAID safe for peds
paracetamol
coticosteroids transactivation
PBI:
PLA2 inhib
B2 adrenoceptor
IkB-a
corticosteroids transrepression
cytokines
chemokines
inflam enzymes
adhesion molecules
corticosteroid anti inflam actions
- less T, B cells, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils
- more neutrophils
- less type 4 hypersensi
corticosteroids
methylprednisolone -> triamcinolone (strongest)
prednisone -> prednisolone
cortisone -> hydrocortisone
dexamethasone -> betamethasone
side fx of steroids
hyperglycemia and lipidemia hypokalemia, metab alkalosis na H2o retention htn chf prone to infections
commonly used inhaled corticosteroids
fluticasone
first line prophylactic tx for asthma + its MOA
fluticasone
- increase macrophage effercytosis
- increase B2 receptors on airway smooth mm
potent cysteinyl leukotriene receptor antagonist
montelukast
B2 agonist
salbutamol, salmeterol, formoterol, indacaterol
MOA of B2 agonist
- increase cAMP, ASM bronchodilate
ipratropium bromide vs tiotropium bromide, which is more potent for copd
tiotropium bromide
4 classes of anti htn drugs
a - ace inhib
b - b blockers
c - ca channel blocker
d - diuretics
moa, adr of acei
block ang 1 -> ang 2
less water sodium retention, less peripheral vascular resistance
adr = dry cough, hypotn, hyperk
*contraindicated in pregnancy
nifedipine moa
ca channel blocker for antihtn block ca channel in myocytes and smooth mm cells reduce myocardial contractility reduce o2 req reduce cardiac output
hydrochloroTHIAZIDES moa and adr
diuretic for antihtn
acts on dct, depends on renal prostaglandin syn
fx = pee out more stuff
adr = hypok, hyponatremia, hypouricemia
common antiplatelet drugs
aspirin
clopidogrel / prasugrel / ticagrelor
