Study Notes
Module 6 in Pharmacology
- Primary focus: Pharmacology of inflammation and pain management
- Main goal: Understand the classifications and mechanisms of action of drugs used to manage inflammation and pain
Inflammation and Pain Management
- Key focus: Classifications of drugs used to manage inflammation and pain
- Primary purpose of discussing anti-inflammatory drugs: Understand their mechanisms of action and effects on prostaglandins
Mechanisms of Inflammation
- Main cause of increased capillary permeability and pain: Release of histamine, kinins, and prostaglandins
- Enzyme responsible for converting arachidonic acid into prostaglandins: Cyclooxygenase (COX)
- Main function of anti-inflammatory drugs: Inhibit prostaglandin synthesis to reduce inflammation and pain
Prostaglandins and Inflammation
- Main effect of prostaglandin synthesis at a tissue injury site: Vasodilation and increased capillary permeability
- Phase of inflammation associated with vasodilation and increased capillary permeability: Inflammatory response
- Substance that protects the stomach lining and regulates blood platelets: Prostaglandins
Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs)
- Main effect: Inhibit COX to reduce prostaglandin synthesis and relieve pain and inflammation
- Primary relief: Pain and inflammation
Antineoplastic Agents
- Function of alkylating agents: Interfere with DNA replication to exert therapeutic effect against cancer
- Primary function of antimetabolites and Vinca alkaloids: Interfere with DNA synthesis and cell cycle progression
- Role of DNA in cancer: Essential for cancer cell growth and proliferation
- Primary action of cell cycle-nonspecific drugs (CCNS): Inhibit DNA synthesis and cell proliferation
- Role of the nurse in anticancer therapy: Monitor and manage side effects, provide supportive care
Cancer Treatment
- Effect of high dose chemotherapy on tumors: Increased tumoricidal effects
- Reason why anticancer agents are more effective against small, fast-growing tumors: Better blood supply and increased sensitivity to drugs
- Role of chemotherapy in cancer treatment: Destroy cancer cells and alleviate symptoms
- Type of drugs that exert their influence during a specific phase or phases of the cell cycle: Cell cycle-specific drugs
