Inflammation suppression Complications
Used for mild to moderate pain Gi discomfort- give with food
Osteoarthritis/ Rheumatoid arthritis GI Bleeding due to low plat
Fever reduction ( Give PPI –Omeprazole)
Dysmenorrhea
Inhibition of platelet Impaired Kidney Function
Protects against CVA/MI Decreased urine output
Increased Bun/Creatinine
Use with caution in elderly/CHF
Drug Interactions
Anticoagulants- Coumadin/ Heparin causes increased risk of bleeding
Monitor PTT, PT/INR
Instruct PT to report indications of bleeding
Black , tarry stools, bleeding from gums, nose bleeds, hematuria
Alcohol increases risk of bleeding
Dehydration from fever can lead to kidney impairment –
Drinks lots of water
Aspirin (ASA)
Uses- Fever reduction
Prevent platelet aggregation
Used to prevent stroke/ MI
Used in ER MONA- Morphine, O2, NTG,ASA
Side effects = Gastric distress bleeding
Use enteric coated to prevent bleeding
Have Pt report signs of bleeding- black, tarry stools, Hematuria
Bleeding from mouth, gums, or nose
Avoid use in children due to REYES syndrome-rare –CNS, Liver damage
Don’t give with viral illness –flu, varicella
Action- slows production of prostaglandins in CNS
Uses-Analgesic, Antipyretic
Used in pain relief, fever reduction
Effectiveness-
Pain relief of mild to moderate pain
Fever reduction especially effective in children
