Q

Tinnitus is the salicylate effect for __dose of aspirin.

A

325mg - 6gm

23
Q

Resp alkalosis –> metabolic acidosis, fever, dehydration: is the salicylate effect for __dose of aspirin.

What if shock and coma?

A

6-20 g

> 20g of aspirin.

24
Q

Do not use aspirin in anyone with a fever who is less than ___yo. What could occur?

A

less than 19

Reye’s syndrome

25
Q

antiplatelet is the effect for __dose of aspirin.

A

80-160mg

26
Q
  • At ___doses, aspirin is a prodrug of salicylates, a ___ COX inhibitor.
  • Aspirin itself is a _____ COX inhibitor
  • tNSAIDs are ____ COX inhibitors
A
  • anti-inflammatory doses, reversible
  • irreversible
  • reversible
27
Q

Why does aspirin have an effective antithrombotic effect?

A

Irreversible acetylation of COX. Platelets have no nucleus, so recovery requires platelet turnover. Platelet aggregation is inhibited (~3 days)

28
Q

Aspirin should be used as a primary or secondary prevention of MI?

A

esp secondary - after MI has occurred.

29
Q

If a person has heart disease, do not give what?

A

COX2 selective inhibitor (coxib)

30
Q

does acetaminophen inhibit COX?

A

no, so NOT antiinflammatory, but yes anti-pyretic and analgesic

31
Q

NSAIDs and COXIBs have what toxicity?

A

thrombotic toxicity.

32
Q

COXIBS and acetaminophen are safe to use in a pt with…

A

GI issues

33
Q

salicylates, NSAIDs, and COXIBS all have what toxicity?

A

renal

34
Q

Salicylates and NSAIDs are nonselective or selective COX1/2 inhibitors?

A

Nonselective COX1 and COX2 inhibitors - Antiinflammatory, anti-pyretic, analgesic.

35
Q

COXIBS are nonselective or selective COX1/2 inhibitors?

A

Selective COX2 inhibitors - Antiinflammatory, anti-pyretic, analgesic.

36
Q

All____ have a black box warning for people with cardiovascular risks.

A

NSAIDs (except for aspirin)

37
Q

Three analgesics and three anti-inflammatory agents for osteoarthritis.

A

Analgesics: acetaminophen, tramadol, codeine

Anti-inflmmatory - NSAIDs (tNSAIDs or coxib), Triamcinolone (CS)

38
Q

Drug recommended for mild, symptomatic OA without inflammation

A

acetaminophen (analgesic, antipyretic,not anti-inflammatory)

39
Q

Acetaminophen overdose: MOA

A

MOA: Glutathione is used up, so NAPQI is overproduced, resulting in irreversible cellular damage (centrolobular necrosis).

40
Q

Course of action of acetaminophen overdose (0-24hrs, 24-72hrs, 72-96hrs)

A

0-24hrs: N/V/abdominal pain
24-72hrs: RUQ pain, evolving liver damage
72-96hrs: N/V/abdominal pain, AST/ALT elevation, coagulopathy, kidney failure, COMA and DEATH

41
Q

Antidote for actaminophen overdose

A

N-acetylcysteine in first 24 hours to replenish glutathioine pool and directly trap NAPQI

42
Q

If OA sx persist with acetaminophen, what drug next?

A

NSAID for 2 wks prn (better for severe pain)

43
Q

**The only injectable NSAID.

A

Ketorolac (toradol)

44
Q

Does Naproxen or ibuprofen have longer half life?

A

naproxen (14hrs) v. ibuprofen (2-4hrs)

45
Q

how many NSAIDs should be given at one time?

A

only one, unless it’s a cardioprotective use of aspirin

46
Q

OA sx: acetaminophen doesn’t work –> NSAIDs dont work –> now what? (four options before steroid)

A
  1. a different NSAID OR
  2. Diclofenac (NSAID) + misoprostol (PG to protect gastric mucosa) = arthrotec OR
  3. Naproxen (NSAID) + esomprazole magnesium (PPI to protect gastric mucosa)
  4. coxib only
47
Q

What coxib was removed from marked bc of CV risk?

A

rofecoxib - bc it:

  1. spares COX1, so platelets are allowed to aggregate
  2. inhibits COX2, lessening PGI2 (decreased vasodialtion and increased platelet aggregation)
48
Q

If NSAIDs fail, describe the anti-inflammatory steroids and its MOA

A

Triamcinolone - represses COX2 mRNA induction, resulting in less PGs formed

49
Q

short term narcotic analgesics. MOA.

A

tramadol, codeine. Mu receptor antagonists.

Tramadol inhibits catecholamine uptake.

50
Q

OA, other arthritides, bursitis, gout “flare”, ankylosing spondylitis, dysmenorrehea, migraine - all are indications for using….

A

NSAIDs

51
Q

When are NSAIDs contraindicated?

A
  • Asthma
  • Gut inflammation (gastritis, colitis, pancreatitis, heaptitis)
  • Infectious inflammation fever (meningitis, endocarditis, sepsis, bronchitis, sinusitis, rhinorrhea)
52
Q

gastric sparing sparing NSAIDs

A

Coxibs

53
Q

COX-1, COX-2, or both:

  • gut
  • blood/platelets
  • renal artery
  • joint
A
  • gut is COX-1; PGE2
  • blood/platelets is COX-1; PGE2/TxA2
  • renal artery is COX-1 and COX-2; PGE2 and PGI2
  • joint is COX-1 and COX-2,
54
Q

explain salicylate toxicity at high doses of aspirin.

A
  1. Salicylates uncouple mito ox phos, so body thinks there is less ATP and in a hypoxemic state, so it hyperventilates.
  2. Hyperventilation causes alkalemia by blowing off CO2 and prompts kidney to deplete bicarbonate.
  3. Organic acids accumulate bc ATOP isn’t generated, causing metabolic acidosis.
