• Excessive dosing
• Increased P-450 activation
• Decreased gluthatione availability
• Chronic severe ethanol abuse
Effect in coagulation function
• Weak inhibitor of platelet COX-1 with a dose
dependent anti-aggregatory effect
• Platelet aggregation is more impaired by diclofenac
than PCT
• Antiaggregatory effect does not seems to be clinical
relevant and no surgical bleeding attributable to PCT
• Significant increased in INR and reduction Vit-K
dependant clotting factors in patients receiving
stable treatment warfarin who received PCT 4 gr/day
for 14 days

NSAIDs and Renal Function
• With proper selection and monitoring, the
incidence of NSAID-induced perioperative renal
impairment is low and NSAIDs need not be
withheld in patients with normal preoperative
renal function (Lee A et al, 2007 Level I).
• No differences between patients given diclofenac,
ketorolac, indomethacin (indometacin) or
ketoprofen (Lee A et al, 2007 Level I).
• NSAIDs and Coxib have similar adverse effect on
renal function ( Level I )
NSAIDs and Bleeding
• In meta-analyses of tonsillectomy in both adult and
paediatric patients, NsNSAIDs were found to increase
the risk of reoperation for bleeding (NNH 29 to 60)
(2003 Level I) but surgical blood loss was not
significantly increased (Moiniche et al, 2003 Level I)
• Looking at studies in children only, there was no
increase in the risk of reoperation for bleeding after
tonsillectomy (Cardwell et al, 2005 Level I).
• After a variety of different operations, the use of
NsNSAIDs showed a significant increase in risk of
severe bleeding from 0 to 1.7% compared with (Elia et
al, 2005 Level I).
NSAIDs and GI Ulcer
• A large case-controlled study using a general practice
database identified 10 892 patients over4 years with a
‘first ever’ diagnosis of an upper GI ulcer or bleeding
and compared them with matched controls (Hippisley-
Cox et al, 2005 Level III-3).
Where individual drugs were specified in the results,
the risks were shown to be significantly increased for
patients using naproxen, diclofenac, ibuprofen and
aspirin.
• Concurrent use of a proton-pump inhibitor (PPI)
significantly reduced the incidence of NsNSAID-related
peptic ulcer disease (Targownik et al, 2008 Level III-2).
Selective COX-2 inhibitor
• Larger molecul with side chain fitted the
hydrophilic side of COX-2 isoform but did not
fit COX-1 isoform
• COX-2 in peripheral and central nerve system
• As a part of multimodal analgesia
• Offer significant advantages over NsNSAIDS
with regard to several adverse effect ( not in
renal function )
COXIB evidence
• Coxibs are effective in the treatment of acute
postoperative pain (N) (Level I [Cochrane
Review]).
• Coxibs were as effective as NsNSAIDs in the
management of postoperative pain (Romsing &
Moiniche, 2004 Level I).
• Preoperative coxibs reduced postoperative pain
and opioid consumption and increased patient
satisfaction (Straube et al, 2005 Level I)
Efficacy Analgesic
Number needed to treat (NNT) for at least 50% pain relief over 4 to 6 hours
compared with placebo in third molar extraction trials.
