11
New cards

diclofenac sodium (selective/non selective) / (NSAID?)

nsaid, non

12
New cards

prednisone (selective/non selective) / (NSAID?)

NOT NSAID

13
New cards

non opioid analgesic name them

paracetamol, aspirin, glutocorticoids, nsaid

14
New cards

glutocorticoids are usually given as

antiinflammatory drugs

15
New cards

is acetaminophen an nsaid

no

16
New cards

enzyme responsible for production of leukotrienes

lipoxygenase

17
New cards

function of leukotrienes

for inflammatory response. bronchoconstriction, increase vascular permeability (edema, swelling), chemotaxis

18
New cards

eicosanoids are associated with

prostaglandins, thormboxanes, leukotrienes

19
New cards

properties of paracetamol

antipyretic, analgesic ONLY

20
New cards

enzymes responsible for prostaglandins and thromboxanes

COX1, COX2

21
New cards

specific leukotrienes for bronchoconstriction and vascular permeability

LTC4, LTD4

22
New cards

specific prostaglandins for vasodilation

PGE2, PGI2

23
New cards

specific thromboxane for vasoconstrictors

TXA2

24
New cards

properties of NSAIDS

anti inflammatory, analgesic, antipyretic, antiplatelet

25
New cards

non selective nsaid definition

both COX1 and COX2 inhibited

26
New cards

selective nsaid definition

inhibits COX2 only

27
New cards

common prefix of selective NSAID medicines

'coxib'

28
New cards

properties of acetaminophen

anti pyretic, analgesic

29
New cards

opioids function

moderate to severe pain

30
New cards

for which medicines is gastrointestinal bleeding an adverse effect?

aspirin, clopidogrel, nsaid, glucocorticocoids

31
New cards

endogenous ligand of mu receptor

endorphins

32
New cards

function of mu receptor

supraspinal/spinal analgesia, sedation, respiratory depression, slowed GI transit, euphoria

33
New cards

function of delta receptor

supraspinal/spinal analgesia

34
New cards

endogenous ligand of delta receptor

enkephalins

35
New cards

function of kappa receptor

supraspinal/spinal analgesia, psychotomimetic effects (dysphoria, hallucinations), slowed GI transit

36
New cards

endogenous ligand of kappa receptor

dynorphins

37
New cards

physiologic effects of glutocorticoids

  1. increases blood glucose and liver glycogen

  2. breaks down muscle to AA

  3. breaks down lipids to free fatty acids

  4. increases glycogenolysis (breakdown of glycogen to glucose)


38
New cards

function of glutocorticoid

  1. mimics cortisol

  2. reduce inflammation and suppress overactive immune systems

  3. allergic reaction, collagen problems, eczema, lupus


39
New cards

common NON NSAID meds

  1. acetaminophen

  2. paracetamol


40
New cards

common NSAID meds

  1. aspirin

  2. ibuprofen


41
New cards

inflammation

  1. injury to tissue

  2. phospholipidase secretes phospholipids

  3. phospholipids secrete arachidonic acid

  4. cycloxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase metabolize (breaks down) arachidonic acid

  5. eicosanoids produced


42
New cards

mechanism of nsaids

  1. inhibits COX

  2. arachidonic acid cant be converted to PG

  3. because PGE2 sensitizes nerve endsings to pain mediators (bradykinin, histamine)


43
New cards

mechanism of glucocorticoids

  1. binds to glucocorticoid receptor

  2. alters gene transcription

  3. inhibits phospholipase A2 -> ⬇ arachidonic acic release-> ⬇ prostaglandins & leukotrienes

  4. stabilize lysosomal enzymes

  5. decrease vascular permeability leading to edema

  6. suppress cytokine production


44
New cards

opioid receptors

mu, kappa, delta

45
New cards

mechanism of action opioids

  1. binds to presynaptic and postsynaptic opioid receptors (G protein coupled)

  2. presynaptic decreases Ca2+, induces hyperpolarization

  3. decreased neuronal excitability

  4. decreased pain transmission WITHOUT LOSS OF CONSCIOUSNESS, TOUCH, PROPRPIOCEPTION
