ANTI INFLAMMATORY
DRUGS)
By
Wiwik Kusumawati
General Objective
After learning this topic, the students
understand about pharmacology (both
pharmacokinetic and
pharmacodynamic) of NSAIDs
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVE
The students understand the mechanism of
action of NSAIDs
The students know classification and select of
NSAIDs which have potential anti
inflammatory effect
The students know about side effect and can
chose of NSAIDs appropriately for the
patients who need anti inflammatory drugs to
overcome their problem (clinical indication
and contra indication)
OBAT AINS (=NSAIDs)
Analgesik Antiinflamasi Nonsteroid =
Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs
Generally, these drugs have analgesic,
antipyretic and anti inflammation
For specific condition such as acute or
chronic inflammation, osteoarthritis, arthritis
rheumatoid, etc. we must consider about the
potential inflammatory effect of NSAIDs
MECHANISM OF ACTION
NSAIDs inhibits prostaglandin synthesis
through inhibition of COX (Cyclo
oxygenase)
In clinical aspect, there are 2 types of
COX i.e. COX-1 and COX-2 which
different role in the inflammation
process
COX-inhibitors = NSAIDs
the most widely used class of drugs
available as prescription & non-prescription (OTC)
Common mechanism of action (COX inhibition)
Different selectivity to COX-1 and COX-2
Common clinical indications
Analgesic (CNS and peripheral effect)
may involve non-PG related effects
useful when pain is accompanied by
inflammation
Antipyretic (CNS effect)
Anti-inflammatory (mainly by PG inhibition)
have various side effects
about 16,000 persons die every year due to NSAID used in US
