41
Q

what are the contraindications/warnings/side effects with aspirin

contraindications: NSAID or salicylate allergy, children and teenagers with viral infection due to the risk of Reye’s syndrome (symptoms include somnolence, N/V, confusion); rhinitis, nasal polyps or asthma (due to risk of urticaria “hives”, angioedema, or bronchospasm)

warnings: Bleeding [including GI bleed/ulceration, increased risk with heavy alcohol use or when used with other drugs that have bleeding risk (NSAIDs, anticoagulants, other antiplatelets], tinnitus (salicylate overdose)

Side effects: Dyspepsia, heartburn, bleeding, nausea

42
Q

Notes/Pearls with aspirin products

A

Used indefinitely “unspecified time period” in SIHD (unless contraindicated); decrease incidence of MI, CV events and death

Non-enteric coated, chewable aspirin is Preferred in ACS; if only enteric coated aspirin is available, it should be chewed (325mg)

Durlaza and Yosprala should NOT be used when rapid onset is needed (ACS, pre-PCI)

43
Q

__________ may be used to protect the gut with chronic aspirin use (Yosprala is indicated for those at risk of developing aspirin-associated gastric ulcers) consider the risks from chronic _____ use (_____________________)

A

PPIs
PPI
decreased bone density, increased infection risk

44
Q

Plavix

A

clopidogrel
Prodrug
Dosing 75mg daily

Effectiveness depends on the conversion to an active metabolite, mainly CYP2C19.

Poor metabolizers of CYP2C19 exhibit higher cardiovascular events than patients with normal CYP2C19 function. Consider alternative treatments in patients identified as CYP2C19 poor metabolizers
