osteoporosis or cataracts
impaired glucose tolerance
systemic corticosteroids (prednisone)

enzyme inducers of the CYP450 system (eg, alcohol, carba- mazepine, phenytoin, rifampin)
acetaminophen OD antidote
N-acetylcysteine (glutathione precursor)
celecoxib
COX-2 selective
no ceiling effect
opioid analgesics
ceiling effect
NSAIDs
topical patch fentanyl onset of action
delayed
_____, a synthetic opioid, would generally be safe to use in someone with a history of hypersensitivity to a naturally derived opioid such as morphine.
fentanyl
opioid GI AE
nausea and loss of appetite due to a combined effect of stimulating the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) in the medulla and slowing gastric emptying in the GI tract (constipation)
to avoid GI AE, opioids are usually rx’d w/
laxatives and stool softeners
misoprostol
prostaglandin E analog
minimizes risk for NSAID-related GI ulceration
NSAIDs and body temperature
Due mainly to inhibition of fever-promoting prostaglandins, NSAIDs will LOWER body temperature if abnormally elevated.
T/F
An extended release formulation of NSAIDs mitigates risk of GI side effects
F
The risk for NSAID-related GI side effects is dose related.
synthetic opioids
methadone
meperidine
fentanyl
