1
Q

definition of peripherial sensitisation

A

at the site of inflammation you feel pain much better

2
Q

where in the eicosanoids chain do glucocorticoids have their effect

A

at phospholipase A2 - they diminish the whole process - most potent

3
Q

localisation of COX1

A

stomach, kidney, platelets

4
Q

localisation of COX2

A

macrophages, fibroblasts

5
Q

COX1 production

A

constitutive - all the time produced

6
Q

COX2 production

A

inductive - at site of inflammation

7
Q

COX1 effects in stomach

A

produces prostaglandins mainly PGE to protect stomach wall

  • decr HCl
  • incr mucus secretions
  • incr perfusion
8
Q

what substances inhibit COX3

in CNS, mainly hypothalamus and thalamus

10

great antipyretic and analgesic effect

14
Q

absorption of NSAIDs

A
  • usually weak acids - non ionised forms have better transport through membranes
  • depends on feed
15
Q

distribution of NSAIDs

A
  • extensive albumin binding - cannot enter milk

Q

where in the body would you find GI ulceration as a side effect
