Flashcards

NSAID Mechanism

NSAIDs work by slowing the production of prostaglandins, kinins, histamine, tumor necrosis factor, and other inflammatory mediators derived from arachidonic acid.

COX Enzymes

Cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes are involved in the production of prostaglandins, which play a role in inflammation. NSAIDs can block these enzymes.

Selective vs Nonselective NSAIDs

Selective NSAIDs target specific COX enzymes (COX-2) while nonselective NSAIDs block both COX-1 and COX-2, leading to a higher risk of side effects.

NSAID Uses

NSAIDs are used to treat pain, inflammation, and fever. They can also be used for conditions like arthritis and dysmenorrhea.

Study Notes

Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs)

  • Mechanism of Action: Slows prostaglandin, kinin, histamine, TNF, and other inflammatory mediator production from arachidonic acid. Provides analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic effects. Prevents tissue and blood vessel response to injury. Categorized as selective or nonselective.

  • Nonselective NSAIDs: Block both COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes, often causing more side effects. COX-1 produces protective prostaglandins, COX-2 produces inflammatory prostaglandins. Examples: aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, nabumetone, indomethacin.

  • Selective NSAIDs: Primarily block COX-2 enzymes. Examples: celecoxib, meloxicam, diclofenac.

  • Inhibits Platelet Aggregation: Stops blood platelets from clumping together.

  • Uses: Myalgia, neuralgia, arthralgia, headache, dysmenorrhea, arthritis (rheumatoid, osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, gout), pain from procedures/injuries (dislocations, herniated disks), clot prevention.

  • Side Effects: GI irritation (heartburn, nausea, vomiting), dizziness, headache, increased bleeding risk, fluid retention, edema, increased blood pressure, reduced effectiveness of antihypertensives, increased hypoglycemia risk in diabetic patients.

  • Adverse Reactions & Contraindications: Allergic reactions, renal failure, GI bleeding/ulceration/perforation, blood disorders, increased cardiovascular risk (stroke, MI), Reye syndrome (children), toxicity (tinnitus, hyperventilation, diaphoresis, thirst, headache, drowsiness, skin eruptions, electrolyte imbalance, CNS depression, stupor, convulsions, coma, tachycardia, respiratory insufficiency).

  • Nursing Considerations & Patient Education: Assess for contraindications (allergies, asthma, blood disorders, GI/liver/kidney/heart problems, pregnancy). Administer with food, milk, antacids, or water. Anti-inflammatory effect may take 1-2 weeks. Assess for bleeding/bruising (mucous membranes, petechiae, black/tarry stool, blood in stool/urine/vomit). Advise patient to report abnormal bleeding, tinnitus, heart attack signs, weight gain/edema, and upcoming procedures. Avoid aspirin, aspirin products, other NSAIDs, blood thinners, tobacco, and alcohol. Caution use in children with illness, older adults and during pregnancy.
