Study Notes
Aspirin Development and Use
- Developed in 1897, aspirin became widely distributed to doctors by 1915, becoming the top drug globally.
- Therapeutic concentration for chronic use in arthritis patients is 100-300 mg/L.
- Toxic levels exceed 600 mg/L and can cause severe acidosis and altered mental status.
Mechanism of Toxicity
- Salicylate toxicity leads to hyperventilation and respiratory alkalosis, increasing blood pH.
- Metabolic acidosis can occur from acid buildup (lactate, ketones), leading to dehydration.
- Uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation affects glucose and fatty acid metabolism.
- Can cause cerebral and pulmonary edema due to capillary integrity alteration.
- Prolonged prothrombin time and altered platelet function are noted.
Treatment for Salicylate Toxicity
- Maintain airway and ventilation; supplemental oxygen may be given.
- Treat acute manifestations: coma, seizures, hyperthermia, and pulmonary edema.
- Administer intravenous sodium bicarbonate to manage metabolic acidosis; prevent pH from falling below 7.4.
- Replace fluid and electrolytes lost through vomiting and hyperventilation.
- No specific antidote; sodium bicarbonate aids in salicylate elimination.
NSAIDs Overview
- NSAIDs are diverse agents used for pain and inflammation management.
- Most overdose cases lead to mild gastrointestinal upset.
- Non-selective NSAIDs inhibit COX-1 and COX-2, affecting prosaglandin and leukotriene production.
- Selective COX-2 inhibitors primarily relieve ulcer pain.
Toxicity of Chloroquine and Related Drugs
- Chloroquine inhibits DNA and RNA synthesis; can cause cardiotoxicity similar to quinidine.
- Overdose may lead to severe cardiotoxicity symptoms: sinoatrial arrest, ventricular arrhythmias.
- Primaquine and quinacrine can cause hemolytic anemia and methemoglobinemia, especially in patients with G6PD deficiency.
- Therapeutic dose for chloroquine in malaria prevention is 500 mg weekly; treatment dose is 2.5 g over 2 days.
Specific Drug Toxicity
- Quinidine: 1 g toxic dose, can lead to confusion, sedation, and asystole.
- Procainamide: Toxic at 5 g; can cause respiratory arrest and cardiac complications.
- Lidocaine: Antidysrhythmic agent; potential toxicity from metabolites.
- Encainide withdrawn due to mortality concerns in cardiac dysrhythmia trials.
