Inflammatory ResponseInflammatory Response
• Protects the body from injury and pathogens
• Used chemical mediators to produce a reaction that helps destroy pathogens and promotes healing

Anti-Inflammatory, Antiarthritis, and Related Agents
Anti-Inflammatory, Antiarthritis, and Related Agents
• Several different types of drugs
• Corticosteroids
• Block or alter the chemical reactions associated with the inflammatory response
• Over-the-counter (OTC)
• Adverse effects

SalicylatesSalicylates
• Can block the inflammatory response
• Have antipyretic properties (fever-blocking)
• Have analgesic (pain-blocking) properties
• Therapeutic actions and indications
• Pharmacokinetics
• Contraindications and cautions
• Adverse effects
• Clinically important drug-to-drug interactions

Common SalicylatesCommon Salicylates
• Aspirin (Bayer, etc.): Treats inflammatory conditions
• Balsalazide (Colazal): New drug treats ulcerative colitis
• Choline magnesium trisalicylate (Trilisate): Treats mild pain and fevers and arthritis
• Choline Salicylate (Arthropan): Treats mild pain and fevers as well as arthritis
• Mesalamine (Pentasa and others): Treats inflammation of the large intestine

Common Salicylates (cont.)Common Salicylates (cont.)
• Olsalazine (Dipentum): Converted to mesalamine in the colon; has the same direct anti-inflammatory effects
• Salsalate (Argesic and Others): Used to treat pain, fever, and inflammation
• Sodium Thiosalicylate (Rexolate): Treats episodes of acute gout and muscular pain, and rheumatic fever

Salicylates Salicylates • Actions /Indications
– Inhibit synthesis of progtagladin, used to treat mild to moderate pain and fever
• Pharmacokinetics
– Absorbed from the stomach, peak in 5-30 min., metabolized in the liver, excreted in the urine
• Contraindications
– Known allergy, bleeding abnormalities, impaired renal function
• Drug-to-Drug Interactions
– Interact with other drugs by interfering with absorption

QuestionQuestion
Please answer the following statement as true or false.
A person who does not respond to one salicylate may respond to a different one.
Copyright © 2013 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
AnswerAnswer
True.
Rationale: Salicylates are some of the oldest anti-inflammatory drugs used. They were extracted from willow bark, poplar trees, and other plants by ancient
peoples to treat fever, pain, and what we now call inflammation. They are generally available without
prescription and are relatively nontoxic when used as directed. A person who does not respond to one salicylate
may respond to a different one.

Nursing Considerations for Patients Receiving NSAIDs and Related AgentsNursing Considerations for Patients
Receiving NSAIDs and Related Agents
• Assessment: History and Examination
– Contraindications or cautions
– Baseline status before beginning therapy and for any potential adverse effects
Copyright © 2013 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
QuestionQuestion
When are NSAIDs contraindicated?
A. Allergy to penicillin
B. Allergy to sulfonamides
C. Allergy to antihistamines
D. Allergy to thiazines
Copyright © 2013 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
AnswerAnswer
B. Allergy to sulfonamides
Rationale: The NSAIDs are contraindicated in the presence of allergy to any NSAID or salicylate/ Celecoxib is also contraindicated in the presence of allergy to sulfonamides.
