Anti-inflammatory (Corticosteroids (Side effects (Endocrine-metabolic…
Anti-inflammatory
-
NSAIDs
Aspirin :fire:
COX inhibitor
Reduce all 3
Vasoconstriction, decrease permeability, reduce pain, increase platelet aggregation
Antipyretic
Produces PGE in the brain, resets the thermostat causing fever :pen:
-
-
Typical effect of NSAIDs
Dyspepsia, nausea, vomitting, ulcer formation, haemorrhage risk :pen:
Prostaglandin function:
- Gastric acid secretion
- Increase mucosal blood flow
- Increase mucus secretion
- Increase secretion of bicarbonate
Renal effect:
- Block in PGE: Sodium, water retention, edema, hypertension
- Block in PGI: Hyperkalemia, acute renal failure, suppression of renin and aldosterone
PGE: inhibits NA reabsorption in ascending limb
PGI2: detects at distal tubule, stimulate RAAS for sodium reabsorption and potassium excretion
Pseudo-allergic reaction, similar to type I hypersensitivity
-
-
-
Indomethacin :fire:
Has CNS effects, so not commonly used
Diclofenac :fire:
Accumulate in synovial fluid, thus common for RA :pen:
-
-
Natural mechanism
PLP A2
Arachnoid acids
Prostanoids
-
TXA thromboxane
- Vasoconstriction
- Platelet aggregation
PGI Prostacyclin
- Vasodilation
- Inhibit platelet aggregation
-
-
Cytokines can also regulate the production of cortisol etc TNF-alpha, IL-1, IL-6
It is important to note the effect of aldosterone as some cortisol drug have similar effect as aldosterone
-
Neutrophils cannot be down regulated by steroids, conditions such as RA that is affected by neutrophils is not effective with corticosteroid :warning:
More potent, longer duration, less water retention effect
-
-
-
Things to take note:
- Not curative
- Use shorter acting drug with minimal water retention (prenisolone)
- Should not stop abruptly
- Avoid for osteoporosis
If withdraw quickly, will lead to: Lethargy, headache, fever, joint pain
Mostly given oral, IV, IM :warning:

Prostaglandin causes pain by sensitising the nociceptive fibers, it increases the volume of the pain, it does not cause the pain, bradykinin and leukotriene causes pain
-
-
One good condition to use aspirin
Kawasaki syndrome (common vasculitis in chidlren) - risk of CVS complication, including aneurysm and impaired blood flow to periphery, aspiring is good as it has anti-platelet effect
-

Summary of clinical effect
Traditional NSAIDS - Anti-platelet, Anti-inflammatory, Anti-pyretic, Analgesic
COX 2: Anti-inflammatory, Analgesic
Paracetemol: Antipyretic, Analgesic
