salicylates (5-ASA)

corticosteroids

immunomodulators

biologics

antibiotics (CD)

46

high risk pts with moderate to severe disease

48
Q

side effects of 5-ASA

A

diarrhea

kidney injury

pancreatitis

49
Q

anti-inflammatory meds for IBD. what class

A

5-ASA

50
Q

anti-inflammatory meds with immune system suppression - what class

A

corticosteroids

51
Q

when do you do corticosteroids in IBD

A

flares in UC and CD

52
Q

what three things should you remember about corticosteroids

A

SLOW TAPER

have an exit strategy to avoid steroid dependence

short-term use ONLY

53
Q

what should you be cautious of with oral prednisone

A

systemic side effects

54
Q

when do you recommend DEXA scan with oral prednisone

A

if pt with IBD has had a lifetime use of steroids for 3+ mos

55
Q

what should be given with oral prednisone

A

calcium and vit D

56
Q

modifies immune system activity and decreases inflammatory response

what med class

A

immunomodulators

57
Q

what should you consider with 6MP and Azathioprine (imuran)

A

optimal response takes 3-6 months so may need to bridge them with another med

be aware of systemic risks

58
Q

what should you be aware of with methotrexate

A

folate supplementation

tetraogenic (M and F need to be off meds for 6 mos before conceiving)

59
Q

three immunomodulators

A

methotrexate

6-MP

imuran

60
Q

with immunomodulators what needs to be monitored

A

CBC and liver tests

61
Q

biologics AKA

A

Anti-TNF

62
Q

when do you use biologics

A

moderate to severe IBD

modulates immune response, prevents inflammation, improves mucosal healing

63
Q

what is something a provider should be aware of when tx with biologics

A

decreased or lost response to med

64
Q

what should you consider before anti-TNFs are given

A

Hep B assessment + vaccine if needed

65
Q

clinical monitoring of TNFs

A
