Question 8

PGE1

Answer 8

Relaxes smooth muscle in ductus arteriosus

Transpositions of great vessels to maintain patent ductus until surgery

Question 9

Answer 9

PGE2
Low concentrations contract
Higher ones relax uterine and cervical smooth muscle

Used for abortions and cervical ripening

Question 10

Latanoprost

Answer 10

PGF2

Increases outflow of aqueous humor reduces intraocular pressure

Used in glaucoma

Color change in iris

Question 11

No selective cox1 and cox 2 inhibitors

Answer 11

Ibuprofen, indomethacin , naproxen

Reversibly inhibit both cox

Question 12

Aspirin

Answer 12

Irreversibly inhibit cox 1 and cox 2

Question 13

Celecoxib

Answer 13

Selectively reversibly inhibits cox 2

Question 14

PGI2

Answer 14

Prostacyclin formed by cox2 promotes vasodilation and inhibits platelet aggregation

Question 15

Acetaminophen

Answer 15

MOA: unclear may inhibit a cox3

Has analgesic effects and antipyretic . Lacks anti-inflammatory or anti platelet

Question 16

Ketorolac

Answer 16

Cox 1 selective

IM used for moderate to severe pain since it’s equal to morphine
Not an anti inflammatory
Short term use and not before surgery

Question 17

Non selective

Question 21

Ibuprofen

Answer 21

Non selective

Question 22

Indomethacin

Answer 22

Non selective

Question 23

Sulindac

Answer 23

Non selective

Question 24

Celecoxib

Answer 24

Relatively cox 2 selective

Question 25

Rofecoxib

Answer 25

Cox 2 selective withdrawn from market

Question 26

Valdecoxib

Answer 26

Cox 2 selective withdrawn from market

Question 27

What is the cv risk with cox 2 selective inhibitors

Answer 27

Cox-1 in platelets makes thromboxane which causes aggregation Cox-2 makes prostacyclins PGI2 - which inhibits aggregation so if it's blocked there is wayyyy too much TXA2 but not enough PGI2 and you get clots. Naproxen has the least cv risk

Question 28

Tramadol

Answer 28

Not anti inflammatory Not antipyretic Is analgesic Weak opioid agonist and inhibits NE and 5-HT uptake

Question 29

Acetaminophen toxicity

Answer 29

Metabolized by cyp450 Results in benzoquinone imminent hat normally reacts with glutathione to form non toxic metabolites. Large does deplete the glutathione and the metabolite reacts with sulfhydryl groups in hepatic proteins to cause necrosis
