antigout meds antiinflammatory
proto: colchicine (Colcrys)
antigout meds colchicine (Colcrys) antiinflammatory MOA
decreases inflammation
colchicine is only effective for inflammation of gout
antigout meds colchicine (Colcrys) use
abort an acute gout attack in response to precursor symptoms
treatment of and decrease incidence of acute attacks for clients who have chronic gout
predinisone is used for clietns with acute gout who are unable to take or unresponsive to NSAIDS
hyperuricemia agents
proto: allopurinol (Zyloprim)
other meds: febuxostat (Uloric), probenecid
hyperuricemia agents MOA
allopurinol and febuxostat inhibit uric acid production
probencid inhibits uric acid reabsorption by renal tubules
hyperuricemia uses
hyperuricemia due to chronic gout or secondary to cancer chemotherapy
colchicine adverse (antigout)
GI distress, thormbocytopenia, suppressed bone marrow
muscle pain
tenderness
probenecid adverse (hyperuricemia)
renal calculi
allopurinol adverse (hyperuricemia)
hypersensitivity reaction, rash, fever
kidney injury
hepatitis
GI distress
colchine contraindications (antigout)
older adults, clients who are debilitated, renal, cardiac, and hepatic or GI dysfunction
probenecid (hyperuricemia) adverse
preciptiate acute gout
do not give within 2-3 weeks of an acute attack
allopurinol (hyperuricemia) adverse
idiopathic hemachromatosis
rhabdomyolysis is most likely with long-term use, risk is higher in clients taking statins for high cholesterol and those who have impaired kidneys and liver
colchicine interactions
grapefruit juice
probenicid interactions
salicylates may lessen the effectiveness of probenecid and may precipitate gout
allopurinol interactions
slows metabolism of warfarin within the liver, which places clients at risk for bleeding- monitor for signs of bleeding
monitor prothrombin time and INR levels and adjust warfarin dosages accordingly
antigout meds admin
monitor uric acid levels, CBC, uric acid levels, urinalysis, liver and kidney function tests
allopurinol should be well-diluted and administered as an infusion over 30-60 min
avoid alcohol and food high in purine (red meat, scallops, cream sauces)
antigout meds effectiveness
decrease in number of gout attacks
decrease in uric acid levels
migraine meds MOA
prevent inflammation and dilation of the intracranial blood vessels thereby relieving migraine pain
migraine meds MOA
prevent inflammation and dilation of intracranial blood vessels, thereby relieving migraine pain
migraine meds use
NSAIDS, and combination anti-inflammatory meds, ergotamine, and triptans are used to stop a migraine after it begins

beta-blockers, anticonvulsants, amitriptyline, calcium-channel blockers and estrogens prevent a migraine headache
ergot alkaloids (migraine meds) adverse
ergotamine and dihydroergotamine
GI discomfort- administer metoclopramide (Reglan)
ergotism (muscle pain, paresthesias in fingers and toes; cold, pale extremties)
physical dependence
fetal abortion
serotonin receptor antagonist (triptans) sumatriptan adverse
chest pressure
coronary artery vasospasm, angina
dizziness or vertigo
beta-blockers propranolol adverse
extreme tiredness, fatigue, depression, and asthma exacerbation
bradycardia, hypotension
anticonvulsants: divalproex adverse
neural tube defects
liver toxicity
pancreatitis
TCAs amitriptyline adverse
anticholinergic effects
drowsiness or dizziness
calcium channel blockers verapamil adverse
orthostatic hypotension or bradycardia
constipation
migraine meds contraindications (ergotamine)
renal or liver dysfunction, sepsis, hypertension, history of MI and CAD, pregnancy
triptans contraindications
liver failure, ischemic heart disease, MI, hypertension
propranolol contraindications
greater than first-degree heart block, bradycardia, bronchial asthma, cardiogenic shock, HF
caution: taking other antihypertensives or who have liver or renal impairment, DM, Wolf-Parkinson- White syndrome
divalproex sodium (Depakote) contraindications
liver disease
amitriptyline (Elavil) contraindications
recent MI or within 14 days of MAO inhibitor
caution: seizure history, urinary retention, prostatic hyperplasia, angle-closure glaucoma, hyperthyroidism,
verapamil (Calan) contraindications
greater than first degree heart block, bradycardia, hypotension, left ventricle disease, atrial fibrillation or flutter, HF
caution: liver, renal impairment or increased intracranial pressure
ergotamine and dihydroergotamine interactions
concurrent use with any of the triptans may cause cardiac ischemia- triptans should be taken at least 24 hours apart from ergotamines
some HIV protease inhibitors, antifungal meds, and macrolide antibiotics may increase ergotamine levels, causing increased vasospasm
sumatriptan interactions
concurrent use of MAOI can lead to MAO toxicity
concurrent use with ergotamine or other triptan can cause vasoconstriction and cardiac ischemia
SSRIs taken with triptans may cause serotonin syndrome
propranolol interactions
verapamil (Calan) and diazepam (Cardizem) have additive hypotensive effects
propranolol use can mask the hypoglycemic effect of insulin and prevent the breakdown of fat in response to hypoglycemia
divalproex interactions
aspirin, chlorpromazine, and cimetidine may cause divalproex sodium toxicity
benzodiazipines may cause CNS depression
divalproex may increase levels of phenobarbital and phenytoin
amitriptyline interactions
barbiturates may cause increased CNS depression
cimetidine may increase amitriptyline levels
MAOIs may increase CNS excitation or cause seizures
verapamil
verapamil interactions
carbamazepine and digoxin may increase medication levels
atenolol, esmolol, propranolol, and timolol may potentiate medication effects
migraine meds admin
avoid consumption of alcohol and tyramine-containing foods
protect skin from sun
migrain meds effectivess
reduction in intensity and frequency of migraine attacks
prophylaxis against migraine attacks
termination of migraine headaches
local anesthetics
proto: lidocaine (Xylocaine)
other: tetracaine (Pontocaine), procaine (Novocain)
local anesthetic MOA
decrease pain by blocking conduction of pain impulses to a circumscribed area
local anesthetic uses
