Relafen's other name?
Nabumetone belongs to a class of drugs called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
Other NSAIDs?
Other members of this class include ibuprofen (Motrin), indomethacin (Indocin), naproxen (Aleve) and several others. These drugs are used for the management of mild to moderate pain, fever, and inflammation. They work by reducing the levels of prostaglandins, chemicals produced by the body that are responsible for pain, fever and inflammation. NSAIDs block the enzyme that makes prostaglandins (cyclooxygenase), resulting in lower concentrations of prostaglandins. As a consequence, inflammation, pain and fever are reduced.
Other name for Naproxen?
Brand names?
Pregnancy Category?
Treats fever and pain, including pain caused by arthritis, gout, menstrual cramps, tendinitis, headache, backache, and toothache. This is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicine (NSAID).
Brand names: Aleve, Naprosyn, Naprelan, Anaprox
Pregnancy risk: Category C (Risk cannot be ruled out)
Other name for Indocin?
Indometacin
Treats pain caused by arthritis, gout, bursitis, and tendonitis. This is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID).
ibuprofen is a drug used for the management for?
Examples?
a drug used for the management of mild to moderate pain, fever, and inflammation.

Advil, Motrin, Nuprin, Medipren)
Indications and MOA of NSAIDS?
These drugs are used for the management of mild to moderate pain, fever, and inflammation. They work by reducing the levels of prostaglandins, chemicals produced by the body that are responsible for pain, fever and inflammation. NSAIDs block the enzyme that makes prostaglandins (cyclooxygenase), resulting in lower concentrations of prostaglandins. As a consequence, inflammation, pain and fever are reduced.
Nabumetone is used for the treatment of ?
that results from what conditions?
Nabumetone is used for the treatment of inflammation and pain that results from rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis
Dosing for Relafen?
May be taken with or without food. The recommended starting dose is 1000 mg daily as a single dose. Some patients may respond better to 1500 or 2000 mg daily. The lowest effective dose should be used.
Interactions that can occur with Relafen?
-may increase the blood levels of lithium (Eskalith) by reducing the excretion of lithium by the kidneys. (lithium toxicity)
-may reduce the BP lowering effects of htn medications. This may occur because prostaglandins play a role in the regulation of BP.
When nabumetone is used in combination with aminoglycosides [eg gentamicin, the blood levels of the aminoglycoside may increase, presumably because the elimination of aminoglycosides from the body is reduced. This may lead to more aminoglycoside-related side effects.
oral anticoagulants b/c nabumetone also thins the blood
Combining NSAIDs with methotrexate (Rheumatrex, Trexall) may reduce the elimination of methotrexate from the body and result in increased side effects of methotrexate.
Persons who have more than ___ alcoholic beverages per day are at increased risk of developing stomach ulcers when taking nabumetone or other NSAIDs
