viscous substance in synovial fluid that lubricates and protects joints

85
Q

are sodium hyaluronate drugs extracted from?

A

rooster comb (except 1%, which is non-avian and safe for people who are allergic to eggs).

86
Q

do hyaluronic acid injections work?

A

conflicting reports. Many organizations recommend against it’s use, but some people find it really beneficial.

87
Q

glucosamine

A

amino acid in the body and widely distributed to the connective tissues like cartilage. Said to rebuild joint by strengthening and protecting them.

88
Q

what is glucosamine derived from?

A

crab shells or corn

89
Q

chondroitin

A

highly hydrophilic, gel-forming polysaccharide macromolecule that helps retain water in cartilage.

90
Q

what is chondroitin derived from?

A

shark, pig, or cow cartilage

91
Q

glucosamine/chondroitin warnings

A

if effective, if takes weeks to see effects. Caution with shellfish allergies, monitor blood glucose, interacts with warfarin to double INR.

92
Q

GAIT trial and glucosamine/chondroitin effectiveness?

A

showed it is effective for knee severe osteoarthritic knee pain, but so was placebo

93
Q

AAOS (Orthopedic surgeons) glucosamine/chondroitin effectiveness

A

94
Q

JOG study and glucosamine/chondroitin effectiveness

A

no evidence of structural benefits from use

95
Q

MOVES study glucosamine/chondroitin effectiveness

A

found that the combo is as safe and effective as Celebrex for knee osteoarthritis

96
Q

DMARDs

A

disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs. drugs used in place of long-term therapy with NSAIDs or corticosteroids, which can have negative effects if used long term. Biologic and non-biologic/traditional subtypes of these drugs. NOT ANALGESICS.

97
Q

anchor drug for RA treatment and adjunct recommended with it

A

methotrexate (Rheumatrex)

folic acid 5-7mg/wk to limit mouth sore, nausea and liver toxic side effects

98
Q

if anchor drug isn’t enough, what should you do for RA treatment?

A

add a DMARD. Generally recommend to add a traditional first, but now most people skip directly to the biologic DMARDs. low dose steroids can be added with this for a few months to reduce inflammation until DMARDs start working.

99
Q

Tofacitinib (Xeljanz)

A

Biologic DMARD. Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor. Should only be used in severe RA that does’t respond to methotrexate or other DMARDs. Very expensive. Being investigated for tx of psoriasis, IBD, and organ transplant rejection.

100
Q

biologic DMARDs and vaccines

A

DO NOT GIVE LIFE VACCINES TO PEOPLE ON DMARDs because they are immunosuppressed. Okay to give them attenuated/inactivated vaccines. May not respond well.

101
Q

methotrexate (Rheumatrex)

A

anchor drug. standard of care for initiating DMARD (non-biologic) therapy in RA patients. antidotal that is toxic to rapidly dividing cells (chemotherapy in higher doses). 1x/week or 3x/week formulations…CAREFUL. not 3x/day…chemotherapy levels if overdose. toxic.

102
Q

cautions with methotrexate

A

dosing (3x/week, not day)
use carefully with NSAIDs (inc. blood levels)
contraindicated with pregnancy (abortions)
folate levels (should replace)

103
Q

lefluonomide (Arava)

A

non-bioogic DMARD. oral pyrimidine synthesis inhibitor (suppresses pyrimidine production in lymphocytes)

104
Q

lefluonomide (Arava) warnings

A

don’t use with pregnancy (category D). discontinue several months before conception

associated with severe, sometimes fatal, infections/sepsis and severe liver injury

105
Q

gold sodium thiomalate (Myochrysine)

A

non-biologic DMARD gold compounds. adverse reactions include: ulcers, rash, vasomotor s/s, rare leukopenia so periodic CBC monitoring

106
Q

auranofun (Ridaura)

A

non-biologic DMARD gold compounds. adverse reactions include: GI side effects (diarrhea) that usually subside after 3-4 wks

107
Q

hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil)

A

non-biologic DMARD with ophthalmic warnings for retinopathy regardless of dose or length…eye exams regularly, more often with higher doses.

108
Q

d-penicillamine (Cuprimine)

A

non-biologic DMARD that’s a chelating agent for removing copper (Wilson’s disease). toxicities, seldom used today. NOT RELATED TO PENICILLIN. NOT CONTRAINDICATED IN PATIENTS WITH PENICILLIN ALLERGY, but SALAD drug.

109
Q

Sulfasalazine (Azulfidine)

A

non-biologic DMARD approved for IBS and now RA. as effective, but safer than gold, penicillamine, and hydroxychloroquine. May cause leukopenia, so CBC regularly to monitor. Sulfapyridine is active agent in RA.

110
Q

TNF inhibitors

A

TNF is a cytokine that causes inflammation. TNF inhibitors are biologic DMARDs that bind to TNF and inhibit inflammation. Very expensive ($20K/yr)
