NSAID's
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| enzyme required to produce cascade of events that occur during inflammation | cyclo-oxygenase (COX) |
| synthesized continuously and is present at all times in all tissues and cells | COX 1 |
| synthesized mainly in response to pain and inflammation | COX 2 |
| mainly COX 1 selective NSAIDs | asa, ketoprofen, ansaid, Indocin, feldene, sulindac |
| slightly COX 1 selective NSAIDs | ibuprofen, naproxen, diclofenac |
| slightly COX 2 selective NSAIDs | etodolac (Lodine), Relafen, Mobic (meloxicam) |
| COX 2 selective NSAIDs | Celebrex, vioxx, bextra (both removed from the market d/t increased risk for cardiovascular events |
| more readily absorbed than naproxen and is used when rapid analgesia is desire | naproxen sodium |
| should not be used in pts with chronic alcoholism | tylenol |
| diclofenac produced in combination with cytoprotective agent misoprostol | arthrotec |
| NSAIDs are pregnancy category B | ketoprofen, ibuprofen, diclofenac, indomethacin, medlomen, feldene, sulindac but should be avoided in last trimester |
| NSAIDs that are pregnancy category C | lodine, ansaid, toradol, Relafen, daypro |
| if used in pregnancy, agents that inhibit prostaglandin synthesis may cause | closure of the ductus arteriosus |
| a single dose of Tylenol; 150 mg/kg in children or 7.5-10 grams | may be toxic dose of tylenol |
| dose of Tylenol that is usually fatal | 25 grams |
| obtain a serum Tylenol assay 4 hours after ingestion, if level is > ?, 90% will have hepatic damage | 300mg/m: |
| antidote for Tylenol toxicity | n-acetylcysteine (Mucomyst) |
| if Tylenol is taken in large doses or regularly the store of ? become depleted and may create hepatic necrosis | glutathione, a hepatic conjugate; glucuronidation, the metabolic pathway |
| NSAID that shows no difference in overall safety and efficacy between older and younger patients | Relafen (nambumetone) |
| if pt with RA would benefit from NSAID but are at increased risk for GI effects recommendations for tx are: | low dose prednisone instead of NSAID, nonacetylated salicylate, Celebrex, use NSAID in combo with gastroprotective agent, use low dose aspirin if antiplatelet therapy is indicated |
| acetaminophen max dose | 4 grams |
| Tylenol provides little benefit when ? is the cause of pain | peripheral inflammation |
| nsaids indicated for gout | Indocin, sulindac, ketoprofen |
| max dose of ibuprofen | for mild-moderate pain: 2400mg/day; for oa or ra: 3200mg/day |
| max dose of naprosyn | mild-mod pain: 1250mg/day oa ra: 1500mg/day |
| propionic acid group short acting | ibuprofen, ketoprofen |
| acetic acid group short acting | diclofenac (volatren), indomethacin |
| fenamic acid group short acting | meclofenamate |
| pyrrolizine carboxylic acid group short acting | toradol |
| pyranocarboxylic acid group short acting | etodolac (lodine) |
| propionic acid group intermediate | naproxen, naproxen sodium |
| acetic acid group intermediate | sulindac |
| propionic acid group long-acting | ketoprogen er, oxaprozin (daypro) |
| oxicams long-acting | meloxicam (Mobic), piroxicam (feldene) |
| naphthylalkanone long acting | nabumetone (Relafen) |
