What exactly are NSAIDs?
![Page 3: Gastroprotectivng Nsai Dusers Dr Bartleman Oct 2007](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013101/556e3f6ed8b42a16278b4ca0/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Why Give NSAIDs?
Alleviate pain and decrease inflammation:
• Arthritis
• Musculoskeletal injury
• Headache
• Menstruation

Who takes them?
• 20% Canadians older than 65 had prescription!
• 13 million NSAID prescriptions dispensed in Canada in 2004
![Page 7: Gastroprotectivng Nsai Dusers Dr Bartleman Oct 2007](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013101/556e3f6ed8b42a16278b4ca0/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
What are the side effects?
• Non-selective inhibition COX 1 results in– Decreased protection gastric mucosa (PGE)
• ulcer/irritation
– Inhibition of platelet function (TXA)• increased risks bleed
– Renal blood flow alterations (PGI)• Renal ischemia
![Page 8: Gastroprotectivng Nsai Dusers Dr Bartleman Oct 2007](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013101/556e3f6ed8b42a16278b4ca0/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
How Common are Side Effects?• For every dollar spent on NSAID $0.66 spent
on treating side effects
• 15-40% complain dyspepsia• 5-8% duodenal ulcers• 15-20% gastric ulcers• 1-2% will have GI bleed
• 30-40% all GI bleeds attributable to NSAID– 50-60% of these no symptoms prior to
bleed
![Page 9: Gastroprotectivng Nsai Dusers Dr Bartleman Oct 2007](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013101/556e3f6ed8b42a16278b4ca0/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
So let’s prevent this!
• Misoprostol- prostoglandin E1 analogue– Protects gastric mucosa from chemical
irritation
• Proton Pump Inhibitors– Reduce chances of damaging gastric mucosa
• Cox-2 Inhibitor – Allow COX 1 to function
![Page 10: Gastroprotectivng Nsai Dusers Dr Bartleman Oct 2007](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013101/556e3f6ed8b42a16278b4ca0/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Pros
• 40% GI complications when taking NSAIDs
Cons
• Dose related diarrhea in 20%
• QID dosing
Misoprostol
Misoprostol 200 ug po QID while taking NSAID
![Page 11: Gastroprotectivng Nsai Dusers Dr Bartleman Oct 2007](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013101/556e3f6ed8b42a16278b4ca0/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Proton Pump InhibitorsPros
• Co-prescription POST GI bleed reduces bleeds 90%
Cons
• ? risk of community acquired pneumonia and C Difficile diarrhea??
Omeprazole (Losec) 20 mg po OD
Pantoprazole (Pantoloc) 40 mg po OD
Esomeprazole (Nexium) 40 mg po OD
While taking NSAID
![Page 12: Gastroprotectivng Nsai Dusers Dr Bartleman Oct 2007](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013101/556e3f6ed8b42a16278b4ca0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Cox 2 Inhibitor
Pros• Low rates discontinuation• Decrease risk serious GI complications 60% vs
traditional NSAID
Cons• Increased risk of MI! • Contraindicated NYHA Class II-IV, CAD or
cerebrovascular disease
Celecoxib (Celebrex) 100-200 mg po OD- BID
![Page 13: Gastroprotectivng Nsai Dusers Dr Bartleman Oct 2007](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013101/556e3f6ed8b42a16278b4ca0/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Not enough evidence they are helpful
• H2 Receptor Antagonists– Ranitidine (Zantac)– Cimetidine (Tagamet)– Famotidine (Pepcid)
• Sucralfate
• *** Prescription of these meds with NSAID partly responsible for ineffective prevention of GI complications***

Risk Factors for GI complications
• History of peptic ulcer bleed• Use of anti-coagulants• Use of 2 NSAIDs (includes low does ASA)• History peptic ulcer• High NSAID dose• Age > 60 years?• Severe Illness• H. pylori infection• Use of corticosteroids

How to Stratify Risk?
![Page 16: Gastroprotectivng Nsai Dusers Dr Bartleman Oct 2007](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013101/556e3f6ed8b42a16278b4ca0/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Mr Soreknees
• Mr Soreknees is a 65 year old gentleman presenting with complaints increasing knee pain. He has been told he has osteoarthritis and will need a replacement. Help him improve his daily function!
• PMHx/Meds:– Hypertension (Metoprolol 12.5 mg po BID)– Atrial Fibrillation (Coumadin as directed)
![Page 17: Gastroprotectivng Nsai Dusers Dr Bartleman Oct 2007](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013101/556e3f6ed8b42a16278b4ca0/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• What are his risk factors?– Anticoagulated– Age?
• Can you suggest a treatment option?– Likely avoid COX-2 – Naprosyn (Naproxen) 250 mg po BID and– Omeprazole (Losec) 20 mg po OD
![Page 18: Gastroprotectivng Nsai Dusers Dr Bartleman Oct 2007](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013101/556e3f6ed8b42a16278b4ca0/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
In Summary….
• NSAID widely used
• GI side effects common (up to 50%)
• GI side effects can be significant
• There are effective gastro-protective strategies
• Know WHO to protect and treat prophylactically
