quiz 6 NSAID Flashcards
PGE and PGI2 decrease what?
volume and acidity of gastric secretions
PGE and PGI2 increase what? (3)
- sodium bicarbonate secretion in the GI tract
- gastric and intestinal mucus production
- turnover and repair of GI epithelial cells
what does sodium bicarbonate do in the GI tract?
counters acidity
adverse effects of NSAIDs in the GI tract are due to what?
decreased protective prostaglandin production which protect from ulcer formation (PGE, PGI2)
this animal is more resistant to NSAIDs
horse
unlike glucocorticoids, NSAIDs DON’T cause what? (4)
- immunosuppression
- pregnancy problems
- changes in CBC
- glucose regulation
NSAIDs can cause this in the kidney
- why?
renal tissue necrosis
- decreased protective prostaglandin production (PGE2)
what does PGE2 do?
causes dilate the arteries to help increase blood flow to the kidney
how do NSAIDs affect blood flow?
they decrease the body’s ability to compensate for decreased blood flow
these 2 NSAIDs are mostly used in horses
- Phenylbutazone
- Flunixin Meglumine
this inhibits cyclooxygenase
phenylbutazone
this can cause
- GI ulcers
- renal necrosis
- retention of water and sodium
- bone marrow suppression
phenylbutazone
this has potent analgesic properties
Flunixin Meglumine
this is used to relieve inflammation and severe pain in horses
Flunixin Meglumine
this reduces fever in small animals
Flunixin Meglumine
