anti platelet

analgesic effect

what is the major adverse effect of aspirin (cetylsalicylic acid [ASA])?
GI effect

due to loss of protective prostaglandin effect
asthmatics may have an asthma attack if using this drug, due to inhibition of COX enzymes forming leukotrienes, leading to bronchoconstriction
cetylsalicylic acid [ASA]

(aspirin)
acute MILD toxicity from aspirin (cetylsalicylic acid [ASA]) is known as what?
Salicylism
with high concentrations of cetylsalicylic acid [ASA] what can happen to acid-base balance?

***
mild uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation --> increased respiration --> decreased pCO2 --> resp. alkalosis --> renal compensation -->increased bicarb elimination -->compensated resp alkalosis (pH normal, decreased bicarb decreased pCO2).
Dehydration via sweating, lungs and kidneys
Hyperthermia
Uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation
CNS effects
Irritability and psychosis
Respiratory depression
Convulsions and coma
Cardiovascular collapse
Death usually as a result of respiratory failure


this is adverse effects of what?
severe salicylate poisoning

too much aspirin
please describe the acid/base inbalance in SEVERE aspirin overdose
Inhibition of resp center ---> decreased resp --> increased pCO2 --> resp acidosis (decreased pH and bicarb, increased pCO2) plus inhibition of Krebs cycle and severe uncoupling of oxid. phos. (decreased ATP) --> metabolic acidosis, hyperthermia and hypokalemia
should you use aspirin for fever reduction of children?
NEVER
Reduction of risk of re-infarction and stroke – major use
Fever reduction (antipyresis)
Analgesia (mild to moderate)
Acute rheumatic fever
RA and OA (large doses required)


these are therapeutic uses of what drug?
aspirin
aspirin in combination with these 2 drugs lead to increased bleeding
warfarin and heparin
What type of drug is Diflunisal? what drug is it similar to? what makes it different from the one it is similar to?
NSAID

Aspirin

NO ANTIPYRETIC EFFECT
Non-acetylated salicylates vs. salicylates

lower GI effect?
Non-acetylated salicylates
mechanism of action for Non-acetylated salicylates
inhibit COX to decrease PG
what is the major difference in Non-acetylated salicylates
and salicylates
Non-acetylated salicylates
are REVERSIBLE

while the others are irreversible
what will block the anti-platelet effect of aspirin?
Ibuprofen (Non-acetylated salicylates)
do Non-acetylated salicylates
cause acid base problems with high doses? what about aspirin?
Non-acetylated salicylates: NO

aspirin: yes
which would you rather use for anti-inflammatory effects:

Non-acetylated salicylates
or
aspirin

why?
Non-acetylated salicylates


because it has less GI effects
this is one of the more toxic NSAIDs, should only be used for short periods of time, and really should only be used if you have to. Used to treat gout
Indomethacin
what is one special use of Indomethacin?
to close a patent ductus arteriousus in neonates
what is the limitation of Ibuprofen?
short duration
what drug may negate aspirin’s cardioprotective effects by antagonizing aspirin’s irreversible platelet inhibition?
Ibuprofen
what is the major difference between naproxen and Ibuprofen?
naproxen is better for chronic conditions because it is longer lasting
what kind of drug is naproxen?
NSAID
how is nabumetone eliminated?
by kidneys, must reduce doses if they arent working well
what type of drug is nabumetone?
NSAID
this is one of the few injectible NSAIDs that is used for pain relief and not anti-inflammatory
Ketorolac
what are the 2 selective COX 2 inhibitors?
Celecoxib

Meloxicam
of the 2 COX2 inhibitors, which one is MORE selective for COX2? (what are the 2 drugs?)
Celecoxib: more selective for COX 2

Meloxicam- "COX 2 preferred"
what is the Black Box warning of Meloxicam and Celecoxib?
Increased risk of MI
Celecoxib is what kind of drug?
COX2 specific NSAID
Meloxicam is what kind of drug?

what can be given with a NSAID to help lower GI bleeding? how does it do this?
Misoprostol is a prostiglandin analog that gets absorbed in the GI and decreases gastric acid production while stimulating bicarb and mucin production
is acetaminophen an NSAID?
NO!
does acetaminophen have anti-inflammatory effects? why?
NO!

it inhibits COX2 mostly in the CNS

so it is used for analgesic and antipyretic effects
How is acetaminophen eliminated?
mostly by phase 2 reaction

but also some by hepatic CYP450

(note: Phase 2 reactions are metabolic processes aimed at attaching polar and ionizable groups to phase 1 metabolites in order to form water soluble products which are devoid of activity and easily excreted from the body)
