Introduction to Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs)

[@agent_w.]

dave thankyou for your consistent effort to spread scientific knowledge to a wider audience. you’re a legend. we need more people like you!

[@backstreetfan2887]

I always regretted not getting around to taking a pharmacology class in college. In fact I even was considering going to pharmacy school, but life happened instead. Now I get to find out what I missed out on😁

[@konradpanduram4576]

Not bad, not bad at all, as a seasoned nurse, I've lost count how often I still have to explain the basics to patients and co-workers.

[@SittingDuc]

For people outside the US: * Acetylsalicylic Acid = Asprin (a brand formerly owned by Beyer and surrendered as war reparations, so genericised and often just called Asprin) * Ibuprofen = once patented by "Neurofen" outside the USA, main ingredient in Neurofen, Brofen, Advil, and Motrin (never heard of it) * Naproxen = main ingredient in Aleve (never heard of it) and Naprogesic (from Beyer, available in New Zealand) Interestingly, none of these brands contain Paracetamol (acetaminophen), which suggests it is not an NSAID, so I will have to wait for the video on that one.

Advil put me in the hospital for a week with two holes in my stomach.

[@spideymcgee4718]

That's probably why my stomach feels weird. I have a herniated c3 on my neck and I take about 600mg of ibuprofen almost every day. I have recently been using kratom for the pain and inflammation to get away from them.

[@drawyrral]

@@spideymcgee4718 I have herniated c3 and c5 and I now take Tylenol 3 for it. Ibuprofen rips the lining from my gi tract and it ends up in the toilet.

[@dogwalker666]

Aspirin does that to me, paracetamol has no effect at all positive or negative, Ibuprofen works fine with no side effects.

[@ObjectiveZoomer]

Quit taking too much

[@drawyrral]

@@ObjectiveZoomer I don't take it at all. If I took it, I would throw up my stomach lining.

[@thegardener3650]

Great video! Thanks you!:)

[@Suitswonderland]

125mg of Naproxen (I split it down from 250mg) caused me to wake up needing to throw up, I hate NSAID's, I wish I had better tolerance towards them because arthritis during the cold months (Which is most of the time in Scotland) is just a pain with limited solutions.

[@Spaceinvader2424]

Hey i was wondering if you would ever do a herpotolgy

[@konradpanduram4576]

You don't use Metamizol over there? Serious question.

[@stormingsharks]

Is it true that the reason why acetylsalicylic acid and other NSAIDs 'accumulate at the sight of inflammation' is because the pH is too low everywhere else before it hits the blood stream? As in the drug deprotonates mainly in the bloodstream because our blood's pH is much lower (at that point before everywhere else the drug passes through), thus allowing for equilibrium to occur between acid and its conjugate base... I think? I could have sworn I read something in my o-chem textbook that went down something down those lines.

[@ProfessorDaveExplains]

the next one is on aspirin so stay tuned!

[@ymearionet]

Is there any reason to not always resort to taking a painkillers like Ibuprofen/Nurofen whenever experiencing a slight headache?

[@naynay3174]

Yes. It inhibits COX-1 which protects the mucosal lining in our gut. So, no protection = potential GI problems (stomach upset, even ulcers w/prolonged use)

[@mickeyeh]

What about ibuprofen?

For me, "prolonged" usage of NSAIDs was 2 days. Yes, it took 2 days for this drug to fuck my stomach up. No ulcers, thankfully, but a lifetime of GERD and stomach discomfort.
