Q

What is the antiplt effects of asprin

A
  1. prevents the synthesis of thromoxane A2 2. inhibits platelet aggregation 3. effects last for the lifetime of the plt (7-10 days)
22
Q

what is the antiplt effects of non-asprin NSAIDs?

A
  1. anti-plt effects only last while the drug is present in the blood (~4.5 half lifes) 2. plt fx returns after 4 half lives
23
Q

Asprin and all NSAIDS (except tylenol and COX-2 specific drugs) have what effects on plts?

A
  1. inhibit plt aggregation 2. interfere with blood coagulation 3. increase the risk of bleeding
24
Q

which drug is the prototype anti-prostaglandin drug

A

asprin

25
Q

T/F: asprin is nephrotoxic at high doses

A

TRUE

26
Q

asprin effects in the kidneys

A
  1. constricts renal arteries and arterioles 2. decreases the bloodflow to the kidneys 3. decreases GFR 4. increases the retention of salt and water
27
Q

which anti-prostaglandin drug is safer in regards to GI bleeds? (NSAIDS or ASA?)

A

NSAIDS

28
Q

__________________ is effective in the tx of mild to moderate pain of the skin, muscles, joints, and other connective tissue

A

ASA

29
Q

prostaglandins normal fx in the kidney

A
  1. increases blood flow via VD at times of decreased blood flow 2. counters the VC effects of local vasoconstrictors (epi, AngII)
30
Q

__________________ is a propionic acid derivative medication that inhibits prostaglandin synthesis

A

Ibuprofen

31
Q

___________________ is a selective COX 2 inhibitor

A

celecoxib

32
Q

what meds are widely used over asprin due to having less Gastric irritation and GI upset

A

NSAIDs (ibuprofen and celecoxib)

33
Q

half life of celecoxib

A

11 hours

34
Q

celecoxib (compared to asprin) has less ________________, no _______________ effects, and can potentiate ______________________.

A

Gastric irritation; antiplt; pre-existing HTN

Q

T/F: celecoxib is not protein bound

A

false; celecoxib is highly protein bound

36
Q

what labs should be monitored if a pt is taking ibuprofen or celecoxib regularly
