🗑
T/F aspirin irreversibly inhibits the COX isoenzyme both 1 and 2   T  
🗑

🗑
At ____ doses of aspirin uric acid secretion is decreased and net uric acid excretion is decreased and at _____ doses net uric acid excretion is increased   At _LOW_ doses of aspirin uric acid secretion is decreased and net uric acid excretion is decreased and at _HIGH_ doses net uric acid excretion is increased  
🗑
This is a potentially fatal toxicity from aspirin use in children with viral infections   Reye's syndrome causes liver dysfunction and encephalopathy  
🗑
Aspirin Toxicity may lead to salicylism which prevents with what signs   tinnitus and vertigo

🗑
T/F acetaminophen is recommended for tx of inflammation and fever   F in has NO anti inflammatory actions  
🗑
What is the drug of choice in antipyretic of children   Acetaminophen  
🗑
Your pt is concerned about a possible allergy to aspirin and don't want to take it for prophylaxis of an MI you tell the not to worry just take acetaminophen because it also can prevent the platelets from aggregating did you give them good or bad info   Bad info Acetaminophen has not antiplatelet activity it also has no anti inflammatory action but it also has no significant GI side effects  
🗑

🗑
This drug is effective for osteoarthritis and musculoskeletal sprains. It has both peripheral and central mechanism to block the pain, irreversibly inhibits Thromboxane and has 4x potency of aspirin   Diflunisal (Dolobid)  
🗑
What NSAID is highly indicated in tx of RA, acute gouty arthritis, osteoarthritis and indicated for closure of patent ductus arteriosus   Indomethacin  
🗑
What properties of Sulindac (Clinoril) would influence you to possibly choose it over other NSAIDS   it is a prodrug metabolized in the liver highly potent Cox inhibitor used for long term treatment of osteoarthritis, RA, bursitis, and acute gouty arthritis
