|
Antipyretic
↓ IL-1, reset thermostat

|
Anti-inflammatory
↓ PGE2, PGI1
|
|
Antithrombotic
by aspirin at low dose (permanent acetylation, inhibit platelet activation)
|
|
Arteriosus (NSAIDs for closure of patent ductus arteriosus)
|
|
nSAIDS
Allergy
Impaired Renal function Damage stomach wall (ulcer) |
|
Bleeding
Avoid in patient:
-Anticoagulants -Pregnancy 3rd trimester (premature close DA, risk bleeding) Inhibit platelet cycloxygenase (COX), thereby blocking the formation of thromboxane A2 (TXA2) and impairing TXA2 dependent platelet aggregation |
|
Asthma
Inhibition of COX pathway shifts the arachidonic acid metabolism to Lipoxygenase (LOX) pathway leading to increased leukotriene synthesis
|
|
Allergy
|
|
Stomach (Peptic ulcer, gastritis)
Mucosal damage by –
COX-1 inhibition: Reduced blood flow Topical irritation: Epithelial damage COX-2 inhibition: Leukocyte adherence *Can prescribe PPI for gastro-protection |
|
CVS event
angina, recent cardiac bypass usrgery, MI, any CV events
