Term
indomethacin
Definition
NSAID: 25-50mg TID immediate release, 75mg BID sustained release cap, 50mg suppository
Term
ibuprofen
Definition
NSAID: 400-600mg
Term
naproxen
Definition
NSAID: 500mg
Term
if >36 hours after start of attack
Definition
favor NSAID over colchicine
Term
Indomethacin possible MOA favorability
Definition
potentiates the activity of vasopressin which promotes water reabsorption in the distal nephron preventing diuresis
Term
colchicine
Definition
most benificial in the first 24 hours, and stay inside 36 hr window from the initial attack
Term
oral dose of colchicine
Definition
two 0.6mg tablets, then take one tablet an hour later if side effects are not unbearable and the attack symptoms are still present
Term
side effects of colchicine
Definition
nausea/ vomiting, diarrhea (most ppl experience before relief of attack, neutrapenia, axonal neuromypathy
Term
interactions with colchicine
Definition
clarithromycin (macrolides) reduce billiary excretion leading to increased plasma levels and agranulocytosis
Term
erythromycin + colchicine
Definition
most likely to interact – potent inhibitor of both 3A4 and P-glycoprotien
Term
azithromycin + colchicine
Definition
Azithromycin – least likely to interact
Term
colchicine MOA
Definition
antimitotic, prevents vesicles in phagocytes from moving alone the microtubule tracts, no analgesic properties but is also and anti-inflammatory
Term
IV dosing colchicine
Definition
dilute 2 mg in 10-20ml of NS and administer over 20minutes. Follow with two 1 mg doses at 6 hour intervals. (max 4 mg in 24 hours) Then no colchine by any route for 7 days.
Term
IV therapy associated adverse reactions of colchicine
Definition
bone marrow suppression, tissue necrosis, coagulation, hepatocellular toxicity and renal failure
Term
steroid use
Definition
when NSAIDs or Colchicine are ineffective, not tolerated or contraindicated
Term
oral prednisone
Definition
30-60mg daily for 3-5 days. Taper dose over 10-14 days (decrease by 5mg daily) to prevent rebound attacks
Term
allopurinol MOA
Definition
purine analog, acts first as a substrate and then as an inhibitor of xanthine oxidase; suicide inhibition
Term
allopurinol + CrCl 10-20 mL/min
Definition
max 200 mg/day
Term
allopurinol + CrCl <10 mL/min
Definition
max 100 mg/day
Term
allopurinol + CrCl <3 mL/min
Definition
every other day dosing
Term
sever allopurinol SE's
Definition
rash,Stevens-Johnson, hepatitis, interstitial nephritis, eosinophilia
Term
mild allopurinol SE's
Definition
rash, HA and GI upset
Term
allopurinol hypersensitivity syndrome
Definition
gout pts get the rash – can be FATAL; dose related; Follow desensitizing protocol on pg 1547 of text book
Term
febuxostat
Definition
xanthine oxidase inhibitor, indicated for chronic management of hyperuricemia and NOT for asymptomatic hyperuricemia
Term
no renal adjustment
Definition
febuxostat (uloric)
Term
consider uloric when
Definition
allopurinol is ineffective, not tolerated or possibly in the case of renal impairment where allopurinol dose adjustment is below therapeutic range
Term
uloric is not a purine analog
Definition
not expected to inhibit other enzymes involved in purine synthesis and metabolism
Term
probenacid MOA
Definition
filtered at the glomerulus and then secreted in the proximal tubule and reabsorbed in the distal tubule interfering with the kidney’s ability to reclaim uric acid from the urine. More uric acid leaves the body in the urine, lowering the uric acid concentration in the plasma.5
Term
do NOT give to those who are overexcreters (max 2 grams)
Definition
Probenacid; higher incidence of stone formation
Term
SE's of probenacid
Definition
rash, GI upset, and stone formation
Term
interactions with probenacid
Definition
salicylates, can cause treatment failure
Term
probenacid can cause secretion inhibition in kidney of
Definition
penicillin, tamiflu, cephalosporin, methotrexate
Term
probenacid + CrCl <50 mL/min
Definition
DON'T GIVE
Term
Sulfinpyrazone (Anturane®)
Definition
acts as an anti-platelet drug - not available on the market since at least Sept 2011
Term
Benzbromarone
Definition
not available on the market since at least Sept 2011
