CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DRUGS
|
Non-narcotic analgesics, Anti-inflammatory, Antipyretics, and the combinations
Skeletal Muscle Relaxants Narcotic Analgesics and Narcotics Antagonists Local Anesthetics Anticonvulsants Psychotherapeutic Drugs |
|
Non-narcotic analgesics, Anti-inflammatory, Antipyretics, and the combinations
Mechanism of action: |
Salicylates:
Analgesic, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory and antirheumatic effects Relieve pain and reduce inflammation primarily by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandin |
|
Salicylates - MOA
|
The primary antipyretic effect is central.
Reduce fever by: Stimulating the hypothalamus Cause dilation of peripheral blood vessels Cause increased sweating Promote heat loss through the skin and cooling by evaporation. Prostaglandin E increases body temperature, inhibiting its production lowers a fever Prostaglandins maintains the integrity of gastric mucosa, its inhibition opens the stomach to ulceration. |
|
Salicylates include
|
Aspirin (Bayer, Empirin)
Chemical name is acetylsalicylic acid Abbreviated as “ASA” Greater anti-inflammatory effects and irreversibly inhibits platelet aggregation |
|
ANTIPYRETICS ANALGESIC
|
Acetaminophen (Tylenol)
Effective analgesic and antipyretic without ANTI-INFLAMMATORY effects. Pain-control effects are not well understood It may work on CNS by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis and in the peripheral nervous system in some unknown way. Reduces fever by acting directly on the heat-regulating center in the hypothalamus. |
|
Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs MOA
|
Inhibit prostaglandin synthesis in tissues to relieve inflammation and swelling, which in turn reduces pain
In addition to analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties, NSAIDs also have antipyretic effects. Take longer to reduce fever, but last longer Generally act in the affected tissues and not centrally |
|
NSAIDS include
|
Ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil)
Naproxen (Naprosyn) Naproxen sodium (Anaprox) Indomethacin (Indocin) Ketorolac tromethamine (Toradol) Piroxicam (Feldene) Tramadol (Ultram) |
|
Urinary Tract Analgesic/Antipyretic
|
Phenazopyridine (Pyridium)
Excreted in the urine where it produces a local anesthetic/analgesic effect on the urinary tract mucosa. It’s mechanism of action is unknown |
|
Aspirin
|
Mild to moderate pain

|
Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs MOA
|
Inhibit prostaglandin synthesis in tissues to relieve inflammation and swelling, which in turn reduces pain
In addition to analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties, NSAIDs also have antipyretic effects. Take longer to reduce fever, but last longer Generally act in the affected tissues and not centrally |
|
