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)

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
