Rheumatoid and Gout Flashcards
Indomethicin
Mech
Tx
Side eff
NSAID- reduce pain and inflammation
Tx: RA and gout symptoms
Gastric and duodenal ulcers
Naproxen (aleve)
Mech
Tx
Side eff
NSAID- reduce pain and inflammation
Tx: RA and gout symptoms
Gastric and duodenal ulcers
COX-2 Inhibitors
Mech
Tx
Side eff
Selective NSAID (asprin)
Tx: RA and gout symptoms
Fewer Gastric and duodenal ulcers than indomethicin and naproxen
Qinolones (Hydroxydcholoroquine)
Mech
Tx
Side eff
(Hyroxycholoroquine)
DMARD
Reduces T-Cell activation and chemotaxis
Tx: RA and SLE
Retinal damage, Hemolysis in G6PD defficient Pts
Glucocorticoids
Mech
Tx
Side eff
- Inhibit phospoholipase A2 (inhibition of Arachadonic acid release and thus, prostaglandin formation)
- Inhibit cytokine production (prevents COX-2 induction)
Tx: RA, Gout
Cushingoid symtoms
Sulfasalazine
Mech
Tx
Side eff
inhibit IL-1 and TNF-a release
Tx: RA
skin rashes and neutropenia
Methotrexate
Mech
Tx
Side eff
DMARD
(ChemoTheraputic Folate analog)
Inhibits AICAR transformylase and thymidilate synthetase, 2* effects on PMN chemotaxis
Causes adenosine accumulation, which inhibits inflammation
Tx: RA
Nausea, stomatitis, hepatotoxicity
Leflunomide
Mech
Tx
Side eff
DMARD
inhibits DHODH –> impaired T-cell response to stimuli
Tx: RA
diarrhea, heptotoxic
Etanercept
Mech
Tx
Side eff
Biologic response modifier
TNF-a receptors bound by Fc of Ig bind TNF-a
Blocks TNF-a Binding to TNF Receptors
Tx: RA
Infliximab
Mech
Tx
Side eff
Biologic response modifier
MAb against TNF-a
Blocks TNF-a Binding to TNF Receptors
Tx: RA
Ag response to Murine Ab
Adalimumab
Mech
Tx
Side eff
Biologic response modifier
human MAb against TNF-a
Blocks TNF-a Binding to TNF Receptors
Tx: RA
Not antiogenic like infliximab
Golimumab
Mech
Tx
Side eff
Biologic response modifier
Human MAb vs TNF-a
Blocks TNF-a Binding to TNF Receptors
Tx: RA
Certolizumab
Mech
Tx
Side eff
Biologic response modifier
Conjugated to PEG for increased T 1/2
Blocks TNF-a Binding to TNF Receptors
Tx: RA
Anakinra
Mech
Tx
Side eff
IL-1 Receptor antagonist
Tx: RA
short half life, daily high dose Tx
Infections
Tocilizumab
Mech
Tx
Side eff
IL-6 receptor
Tx: RA
Infections
