could be teratogenic, congenital abnormality associations, use only when potential benefits>possible risks to fetus

caution to nursing mothers

maternal and fetal hemorrhagic complication

Chronic salicylate intoxication is also known as salicylism

> than 100 mg/kg daily for 2 days or longer

Acute salicylate OD results from ingestion of a single toxic dose
lethal:
10-30g adults
4g kiddos

35

A

Tinnitus and hearing loss

Hyperventilation and CNS effects (kiddos)

metabolic acidosis and respiratory alkalosis

CNS stimulation (salicylate jag), then CNS depression–>resp. failure or CV collapse–>coma/death

principal: acid-base and electrolyte disturbances, dehydration, hyperpyrexia, and either hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia

36
Q

ASA OD tx

A

immediately!
symptomatic and supportive

enhance salicylate elimination: lavage

prevent further absorption: activated charcoal (2hr)

correct fluid, e-lyt, A/B disturbances

alkalinize urine to
pH 7.5 or greater enhances salicylate excretion (will be neg. charged): IV sodium bicarbonate:

37
Q

ASA drug interactions

A

Protein-bound drugs: compete for binding site

don’t use with anticoagulants/thrombolytic agents–>inc. risk bleeding

corticosteroids inc. clearance of ASA

NSAIDs DON’T used in conjunction with other NSAIDs: synergy (GI effects)

38

ASA dosage for RA, OA, etc

A

2.4-3.6 g daily

gram-level! at risk for toxicity

39

(use w. caution in HTN, dec. cardiac function pts)

fluid retetion and peripherial edema

A

rashes

42
Q

NSAIDs adverse effects: elderly

A

ulcers

spontaneous bleeding

43
Q

NSAIDs adverse effects: GI

gastric/duodenal ulcers
inhib. PG production (gastric cells have COX1)

*can occur anytime, with or without warning symptoms in patients receiving NSAID therapy chronically

44
Q

factors assoc. with inc. risk GI ulcer

A

smoking, etOH

bleeding

45
Q

NSAIDs adverse effects: hematologic

A

autoimmune hemolytic anemia (Type II drug allergy)-IgG, IgM with Tolmetin, *reversible
-remove offending drug, tx with corticosteroids

platelet (COX1) aggregation less and dec. duration than with ASA
*reversible

NSAIDs may prolong bleeding time-affect coagulation cascade

46
Q

NSAIDs hypersn. rxns

A

rare in ASA (3 hrs after)

manifests as asthma, anaphylaxix, acute resp. distress, rapid fall in BP- shock-like, angioedema, dyspnea, angiitis

47
Q

NSAIDs adverse effects: lactation

A

DON’T use NSAIDS in nursing mothers because the potential effects on the infant’s cardiovascular system

48
Q

NSAIDs adverse effects: renal

A

COX 2 constitutively expressed
NSAIDs inhibit COX-2–>inhibit renal PG synthesis:

progressive renal impairment

Acute renal insufficiency

Interstitial nephritis

hyper Na+, K+

Papillary necrosis (chronic renal injury)

49
Q

NSAIDs adverse effects: pregnancy

A
  • inhibit prostaglandin E2 synthesis may induce the closure of the fetal ductus arteriosus
  • can prolong labor (avoid, esp during 3rd trimester)

use: FDA-labelled NSAIDS for closure of patent ductus arteriosus in
premature infants, are either indomethacin (ha) or ibuprofen

50
Q

NSAIDs drug interaxns

A

All NSAIDs bind to plasma proteins

51
Q

Celecoxib, last COX-2 standing

A

inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis, via inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)

Metabolism is via cytochrome P450 2C9 (drug interactions)
Elim by hepatic metabolism

52
Q

celecoxib CIs

A

not for pts who have allergic-type reactions to sulfonamides

OR experience asthma, urticaria or allergic-type reactions after taking aspirin or other NSAIDs

53
Q

celecoxib adverse effects

A
GI: less since not COX 1 inhib, but still some GI
CNS
resp
skin
psych
54
Q

endothelial cells have

A

COX-1 and COX-2–>PGI2

vasodilaiton and declumping

55
Q

platelets have

A

COX-1–>TXA2
vasoconstriction and aggregation (via TXA2)

*not inhib. by selective COX-2 inhibitors, had to remove from market exc. celecoxib (milder)

56
Q

acetaminophen affects

A

paracetamol

affect on fever by action on hypothalamic
heat-reg center

weakly inhibits COX1, 2, 3? (spliced)

57
Q

acetaminophen pharmkin

A

metabolized by the hepatic microsomal
enzymes to acetaminophen sulfate and acetaminophen glucuronide (typ. excreted)

  • small amount metab by cytP450 to N-acetyl-p-benzoquinoneimine, which is highly reactive to cellular proteins and thus becomes toxic to both liver and kidney (norm. detox by glutathione)
  • toxicity in large amounts*
58
Q

acetamin SEs

A

hepatotoxicity*** (reversible) potentially fatal hepatic centrilobular necrosis

nephrotoxicity

59
Q

acetominophen OD

antidote?

gastric lavage

oral N-acetylcystein (Mucomyst)- restores glutathione levels-neutralizes toxic metabolites

use w.in 8 hrs post-ingestion

60
Q

ASA used for

A

mild-mod pain, fever, inflamm. disease

also: prevention of arterial and venous thrombosis

61
Q

NSAIDs

mostly used as anti-inflammatory agents

both analgesic and antipyretic properties

reversible inhibition of COX 1 and 2

absorbed rapidly and completely, pKa 3.5-6.3 (acidic)

may not start immediately

66
Q

celecoxib uses

A

OA, RA, acute pain, dysmenorrhea, familial adenomatous polyposis

67
Q

why other selective COX 2 drugs were taken off the market

A

CV problems from uninhibited COX-1–>platelets–>prod. TXA2–>vasoconstriction and aggregation

68
Q

COX-1 inhibitor:

ibuprofen–>inhib COX1–>prevents TXA2 release–>inhibits platelet aggregation and vasoconstriction

A

endothelium cells (COX-2) NOT inhibited by ibuprofen–>still releases PGI2–>unopposed vasodilation and declumping

69
Q

COX-2 inhibitors: celecoxib

affects endothelial cells (COX-2)–>NO release PGI2–>inhibits vasodilation and decamping

A
BUT
platelets (COX-1) still release TXA2-->*vasoconstriction and aggregation UNOPPOSED*-->CV problems

all COX-2s removed except celecoxib: milder effects
