Ibuprofen MOA
Inhibits COX enzyme thus decreasing prostaglandin synthesis
Ibuprofen indications
Mild pain
Fever
Anti inflammatory
Ibuprofen contraindications 6
Hypersensitivity NSAIDs Asthmatics sensitive to ASA Late pregnancy Cva, tia in last 24 hours Major burns Renal failure
Ibuprofen dosage
200-600 mg PO
Ipratropium bromide MOA
Inhibits cholinergic receptors in bronchial smooth muscles causing dilation
Blocks acetylcholine which inhibits parasym system, thus decreasing bronchial secretions
Dries secretions
Ipratropium bromide indications
Bronchial asthma
Copd
Ipratropium bromide contraindications
Hypersensitivity
Ischemic chest pain
Acute narrow angle glaucoma
Ipratropium bromide dosage
250-500 mcg q 20 min x 3
Or 2-4 puffs
125-250 mcg mixed with NS or ventolin
Or 1-2 puffs
Ketorolac MOA
Inhibits prostaglandins synthesis (and platelets)
Acts peripherally where narcotics act centrally, thus no CNS depression
Ketorolac indications
Moderate to severe pain
Ketorolac contraindications
Hypersensitivity to asa or NSAIDs
Asthmatic sensitive to ASA
Renal impairment

30-60 IV/IM max 120 mg
0.5 mg/kg IvpV/IM max 30 mg
Naloxone MOA
Displaces opiods from receptors
Naloxone indications
Decreased loc and respiratory depression due to suspected narcotic od
Naloxone contraindications
Hypersensitivity
Naloxone dosage
0.4-2 mg IV q 2 min
Or 2 mg IM/IV
0.1 mg/kg IV/IM/SQ max 2 mg
Nitroglycerin MOA
Dilates vascular smooth muscles causing venous pooling (lowers preload)
Reduces ventricular systolic wall tension (lowers afterload)
