Nonsteroidal Antiinflammatory Drugs and Antipyretic - Analgesics Dr. Anuroop Singhai Oral Surgery Division Non Steroidal Antiinflammatory Drugs and Antipyretic-Analgesics Introduction Analgesic is a drug that selec-vely relieves pain by ac-ng in the CNS or on peripheral pain mechanisms, without significantly altering consciousness. Analgesics relieve pain as a symptom without affec-ng its cause. They are used when the noxious s-mulus (evoking pain) cannot be removed, or as an adjuvant to more e-ologic approach to pain, such as an-bio-c treatment of apical tooth abscess. Analgesics are divided into two groups: A. Opioid / narco-c / morphine like analgesics. B. Nonopioid / non-narco-c / an-pyre-c / aspirin-like analgesics or nonsteroidal an-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

SRS-A can be found in most tissues, especially in the lung, after appropriate antigenic challenge. It is released along with histamine and other Mechanism of Action that either one or both play a role in the bronchial constriction and mucosal edema of asthma.

Ibuprofen (400 mg) has been found equally Salicylates Aspirin Aspirin is acetylsalicylic acid. It is rapidly converted in the body to salicylic acid which is responsible for most of the actions. Pharmacological actions 1. Aspirin has analgesic, antipyretic and antiinflammatory action. 2. Aspirin as well as the salicylic acid released from it irritate gastric mucosa → cause epigastric distress, nausea and vomiting. Aspirin – Pharmacological Actions 3. Aspirin, even in small doses, irreversibly inhibits thromboxane A2 (TXA2) synthesis by platelets. Interferes with platelet aggregation, Bleeding time is prolonged to nearly twice the normal value. This effect lasts for about a week (turnover time of platelets). Long-term intake of large doses decrease synthesis of clotting factors in liver and predisposes to bleeding. This can be prevented by prophylactic vit - K therapy. 4. The analgesic doses of aspirin (0.3–0.6 g) employed in dentistry or for headache, fever, etc. have practically no other action. Aspirin – Pharmacokinetics Absorption: Stomach and small intestines. Its poor water solubility is the limiting factor in absorption. Plasma t1⁄2: Of aspirin as such is 15–20 min, but taken together with that of released salicylic acid, it is 3–5 hours. Aspirin – Adverse effects Aspirin – Adverse effects 1. Hypersensitivity and idiosyncrasy though infrequent, these can be serious. Reactions include rashes, fixed drug eruption, urticaria, rhinorrhoea, angioedema, asthma and anaphylactoid reaction. 2. Antiinflammatory doses (3–5 g/ day) produce the syndrome called salicylism— dizziness, tinnitus, vertigo, reversible impairment of hearing and vision, excitement and mental confusion, hyperventilation and electrolyte imbalance. Salt and water retention occurs in a dose-dependent manner. 3. An association between salicylate therapy and ‘Reye’s syndrome’, a rare form of hepatic encephalopathy seen in children having viral (varicella, influenza) infection, has been noted. Long-term therapy with high dose aspirin can cause insidious onset hepatic injury. Aspirin – Adverse effects 4. Acute salicylate poisoning: It is more common in children. Coma and death due to respiratory failure + cardiovascular collapse. Treatment: a. Symptoma
