answer
| the indole and indene acetic acids are indomethacin (INDOCIN) and sulindac (CLINORIL). they are analgesic, antiinflammatory, antipyretic and antiplatelet (leading to significant occult blood loss) |
question

answer
| RA, ankylosing spondylitis, acute gout. it can be used to close patent ductus arteriosus (all NSAIDs can do this, which is why they are used with caution in pregnancy) |
question

answer
| MOST potent inhibitor of COX, also inhibits mobility of PMN lymphocytes. it can be taken PO or IV. it is used only in short term (8 days), or low doses for gout |

answer
| indomethacin/sulindac bind 90% plasma protein (can also bind extensively to tissues). |
question

answer
| 35-50% experience abdominal pain, nausea, anorexia, gastric ulceration, significant occult blood loss, CNS effects: severe frontal headache, vertigo, mental clouding, depression, psychosis, skin rashes, allergic rxns, nephritis, aplastic anemia, thrombocytopenia. 20% discontinue. |
question
| what is indomethacin contraindicated for? |
answer
| concurrent administration with warfarin/asa b/c of increased risk of GI bleeding |
question

question
| what is sulindac? how does it compare to indomethacin? |
answer
| a congener of indomethacin, a prodrug where a sulfide metabolite is the active agent. it is less irritating to the gastric mucosa than indomethacin, (but still more irritating to the gastric mucosa than other NSAIDs). its toxic effect is also similar to indomethacin |
question
| what are the selective COX2 inhibitors? what do they inhibit? |
answer
| celecoxib (celebrex) and rofecoxib (vioox, pulled off market) are both selective inhibitors of COX2 (inflammatory tissue) and do not inhibit COX1 (stomach), at therapeutic conditions |
question
| what does celecoxib do? |
answer
| anti-inflammatory, analgesic, analgesic, (not antiplatelet b/c platelets do not get inflamed) |
question
| how is celecoxib administered? when does it reach peak plasma levels, steady state? how much plasma protein does it bind? what is it metabolized by? how is it excreted? |
answer
| celecoxib is absorbed following PO. it reaches peak plasma levels at 3 hours and steady state at day 5. it binds plasma protein 97% and is metabolized by P450 (unlike any other NSAID but acetaminophen). celecoxib is excreted in feces and urine |
question
| what are side effects of celecoxib? |
answer
| can cause GI ulceration, bleeding, and perforation (but with a lower incidence than other NSAIDs). may cause a premature closure of the ductus arteriosus |
question
| what generically available NSAID was close to celecoxib in terms of low GI ulcer incidence? |
answer
| diclofenac |
question
| what is a contraindication for celebrex? |
answer
| sulfa allergies |
question
| what is misoprostol (cytotec)? what is a major contraindication for it? |
answer
| PGE1 analog, used to suppress gastric ulceration for pts with chronic NSAID treatment. it has a abortifacient property and therefore should not be used in pregnancy. |
