2nd class of non-opioid that isn’t NSAID
p-Aminophenols
Only drug of p-aminophenols
acetaminophen
NSAIDs for analgesic
> headache: tylenol
chronic postsurgical pain: tylenol + opioid
myalgias/arthralgias/sprains/strains: ibuprofen
inflammatory pain: ibuprofen
dysmenorrhea(specific PGE effect): ibuprofen
NSAIDs for antipyretic
> fever: acetaminophen
NSAIDs for anti-inflammatory
bursitis and tendonitis osteoarthritis RA including ankylosing spondylitis gout and hyperuricemia rib fractures
5 symptoms of inflammation
rubor: redness
tumor: swelling
calor: heat
dolor: pain
…and loss of function
3 phases of inflammation
acute; vasodilation and increased permeability
subacute; infiltration
chronic; proliferation
mediators that recruit inflammatory cells
eicosanoids > arachidonic acid metabolites > PG; redness, heat > thromboxanes > leukotrienes; swelling > cytokines; pain
main function of NSAIDs; inhibit what and what pathway
cox inhibitors in the arachidonic pathway
