82
Q

Name 3 medications that cause hepatic enzyme induction

A

Classic enzyme inducers: barbiturates, antiepileptics, and rifampin

83
Q

Name 3 medications that cause hepatic enzyme inhibition

A

Classic enzyme inhibitors: cimetidine, erythromycin, and ketoconazole

84
Q

True or false: If a patient responds to placebo, a psychosomatic condition can be diagnosed.

A

False. Response to placebo means only that the patient responded to placebo. Normal people with real diseases often have an improvement in symptoms with a placebo medication or treatment.

85
Q

Describe the mechanism of action for aspirin and other NSAIDs. How do they differ?

A

Inhibit cyclooxygenase centrally and peripherally, causing anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, analgesic, and antiplatelet effects.
Aspirin binds to and inhibits cyclooxygenase irreversibly. One dose can cause antiplatelet effects for the entire life of the platelet, whereas the effects of other NSAIDs last only for several hours.

86
Q

How is acetaminophen different from aspirin and other NSAIDs?

A

Thought to inhibit cyclooxygenase primarily in the brain; it does not act well in the periphery of the body. Thus it has analgesic and antipyretic effects but no antiplatelet or significant anti-inflammatory effects.

87
Q

What are the side effects and toxic effects of aspirin?

A

Causes GI upset and bleeding - most important preventable risk factor for development of gastric ulcers. Can also cause renal damage or aggravate gout.
Toxic doses of aspirin can cause tinnitus, vertigo, respiratory alkalosis and metabolic acidosis, hyperthermia, coma, and death. Severe overdoses can be removed by dialysis.

88
Q

What are the side effects of non-aspirin NSAIDs?

A

GI upset, bleeding, and ulcers. May cause renal damage (interstitial nephritis, acute tubular necrosis and/or papillary necrosis), esp. in patients with preexisting renal disease.

89
Q

What is phenylbutazone and why should it not be used chronically?

A

NSAID that can cause fatal aplastic anemia/agranulocytosis

90
Q

What development in NSAID therapy may reduce GI and bleeding complications?

A

New combos of NSAIDs with PGE1 and COX2 inhibitors. Normal NSAIDs inhibit COX1 (in addition to COX2), which is thought to be the main culprit in causing GI problems. PGE1 protects the stomach by supplying what NSAIDs take away. COX2 inhibitors avoid the problem altogether, but may not be as protective against GI bleeding as originally thought. 2/3 COX2 inhibitors initially approved in the U.S. have been removed from the market due to adverse CV effects.

91
Q

What happens with an overdose of acetaminophen?

A

Liver toxicity due to depletion of glutathione. Treat with acetylcysteine to decrease liver injury.

92
Q

What age group should not be given aspirin?

A

Children younger than 15 y/o (esp. with fever or viral infection) because of concern for Reye syndrome.

93
Q

What finding on physical exam is a contraindication to aspirin use?

A

Nasal polyps because hypersensitivity reactions involving an asthmatic attack are extremely common. Also, people with asthma may have an asthma attack after aspirin even in the absence of nasal polyps.

94
Q

What is the relationship between aspirin and MI?

A

Low-dose aspirin has been proven to be of benefit in reducing the risk of MI in patients with previous MI or those with stable or unstable angina. It is also recommended for all diabetics with CV disease and for primary prevention in those with 1 or more risk factors.

95
Q

Discuss the relationship between aspirin and strokes.

A

Low-dose aspirin is of proven benefit in reducing strokes in patients with transient ischemic attacks and/or known carotid artery stenosis.

96
Q

True or false: Patients should be given an aspirin as soon as possible in the ED for a suspected MI or unstable angina.

A

True, but beware the patient who presents with chest pain and ends up having an aortic dissection (aspiring should be avoided then).

97
Q

True or false: In the setting of an acute neurologic deficit, you should give aspirin before ordering brain imaging.

A

False. You do not know whether they are having a stroke or TIA. TIA is a retrospective diagnosis made once symptoms clear. First order a CT or MRI to rule our hemorrhagic stroke and potentially locate an area of infarct, which is a contraindication to aspirin. If the CT is negative for blood, the patient should be given aspirin 325 mg within 24-48 hrs of TIA or stroke onset.
