Purpose To compare the effectiveness of acetaminophen, celecoxib, loxoprofen, and the tramadol / acetaminophen combination drug (T+A CD) using several outcome measures, and to establish evidence of the optimal pharmacological treatment option for cLBP. Project research of JSSR • Started in 2014 as Japanese nationwide multicenter study to examine the cost-effectiveness of drug therapy for cLBP • Subjects are patients with cLBP treated with four major drugs, loxoprofen, celecoxib, acetaminophen, and T+A CD used for cLBP in Japan • Total 602 patients were included from January 2014 to June 2016, and prospectively analyzed for 6 months. Materials and Methods Patients who were treated with one of the major drugs for cLBP in Japan, Acetaminophen, Celecoxib, Loxoprofen, or tramadol / acetaminophen combination drug (T+A CD).

ØMultivariable linear regression analyses was conducted to compare these treatments’ effects on the change in each outcome measure at one and 6 months after allocation. ØThe analysis included the change from baseline for each outcome at each time point as a dependent variable.

Conclusions Ø The treatment effect of the four major drugs on cLBP was compared during 6 months. Ø Statistical comparisons were performed at 1 and 6 months, and the mental health component of JOABPEQ at 1 month and the JOA score at 6 months showed significant differences among the four drugs, and acetaminophen showed the greatest effect. Ø The effects on pain were not significantly different between the four drugs, and no improvement in mental aspect was obtained throughout the 6 months. Ø To identify the small difference of the treatment effect on cLBP, multiple, comprehensive evaluations using several treatment measures should be desirable, but still hard to detect the difference..

  • What Are the Acute Treatments for Migraine and How Are They Used?
    2. Acute Treatment CQ II-2-1 What are the acute treatments for migraine and how are they used? Recommendation The mainstay of acute treatment for migraine is pharmacotherapy. The drugs used include (1) acetaminophen, (2) non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), (3) ergotamines, (4) triptans and (5) antiemetics. Stratified treatment according to the severity of migraine is recommended: use NSAIDs such as aspirin and naproxen for mild to moderate headache, and use triptans for moderate to severe headache, or even mild to moderate headache when NSAIDs were ineffective in the past. It is necessary to give guidance and cautions to patients having acute attacks, and explain the methods of using medications (timing, dose, frequency of use) and medication use during pregnancy and breast-feeding. Grade A Background and Objective The objective of acute treatment is to resolve the migraine attack completely and rapidly and restore the patient’s normal functions. An ideal treatment should have the following characteristics: (1) resolves pain and associated symptoms rapidly; (2) is consistently effective; (3) no recurrence; (4) no need for additional use of medication; (5) no adverse effects; (6) can be administered by the patients themselves; and (7) low cost. Literature was searched to identify acute treatments that satisfy the above conditions. Comments and Evidence The acute treatment drugs for migraine generally include (1) acetaminophens, (2) non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), (3) ergotamines, (4) triptans, and (5) antiemetics. For severe migraines including status migrainosus and migraine attacks refractory to treatment, (6) anesthetics, and (7) corticosteroids (dexamethasone) are used (Tables 1 and 2).1)-9) There are two approaches to the selection and sequencing of these medications: “step care” and “stratified care”.

The objective of the study was to investigate reports of acute kidney injury(AKI) events associated with the concomitant use of oral acyclovir or valacyclovir with an NSAID by using the United States Food and Drug Administration(FDA) Adverse Event Reporting System (AERS) database between January 2004 and June 2012. The frequency of AKI events in patients while simultaneously taking either acyclovir or valacyclovir and an NSAID was compared using the Chi-square test. The effect of concomitant use of acyclovir or valacyclovir and individual NSAIDs on AKI was analyzed by the reporting odds ratio (ROR).The results showed that AKI was reported as the adverse event in 8.6% of the 10,923 patients taking valacyclovir compared with 8.7% of the 2,556 patients taking acyclovir (p=NS).However, AKI was significantly more frequently reported in patients simultaneously taking valacyclovir and an NSAID(19.4%)than in patients simultaneously taking acyclovir and an NSAID(10.5%)(p<0.01).

  • Clinical Outcomes of Aspirin Interaction with Other Non-Steroidal Anti- Inflammatory Drugs: a Systematic Review
    J Pharm Pharm Sci (www.cspsCanada.org) 21, 48s – 73s, 2018 Clinical Outcomes of Aspirin Interaction with Other Non-Steroidal Anti- Inflammatory Drugs: A Systematic Review Zuhair Alqahtani and Fakhreddin Jamali Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Science, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Received, March 16, 2018; Revised, March 30, 2018; Accepted, April 25, 2018; Published, April 27, 2018. ABSTRACT - Purpose: Concomitant use of some non-Aspirin nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NANSAIDs) reduces the extent of platelet aggregation of Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid). This is while many observational studies and clinical trials suggest that Aspirin reduces cardiovascular (CV) risk attributed to the use of NANSAIDs. Thus, the therapeutic outcome of the interaction needs to be assessed. Methods: We searched various databases up to October 2017 for molecular interaction studies between the drugs and long-term clinical outcomes based on randomized clinical trials and epidemiological observations that reported the effect estimates of CV risks (OR, RR or HR; 95% CI) of the interacting drugs alone or in combinations. Comparisons were made between outcomes after Aspirin alone, NANSAIDs alone and Aspirin with naproxen, ibuprofen, celecoxib, meloxicam, diclofenac or rofecoxib. Results: In total, 32 eligible studies (20 molecular interactions studies and 12 observational trials) were found. Conflicting in vitro/in vivo/ex vivo platelet aggregation data were found for ibuprofen, naproxen and celecoxib. Nevertheless, for naproxen, the interaction at the aggregation level did not amount to a loss of cardioprotective effects of Aspirin. Similarly, for ibuprofen, the results overwhelmingly suggest no negative clinical CV outcomes following the combination therapy. Meloxicam and rofecoxib neither interacted with Aspirin at the level of platelet aggregation nor altered clinical outcomes.

  • Flow Injection Chemiluminescence Determination of Loxoprofen and Naproxen with the Acidic Permanganate-Sulfite System
    J Pharm Anal Vol 1, No 1, 51- 56 (2011) ORIGINAL ARTICLES Flow injection chemiluminescence determination of loxoprofen and naproxen with the acidic permanganate-sulfite system 2 2 Li-Juan Wang· , Yu-Hai Thng *, Yang-Hao Lilt I Medical School, Xi'an ]iaotong University, Xi'an 710061, China; 2 Institute of Analytical Sciences, Xi'an ]iaotong University, Xi'an 710061, China. Abstract: A novel flow injection chemiluminescence (CL) method for the determination of loxoprofen and naproxen was proposed based on the CL system of KMnO, and Na,SOJ in acid media. The CL intensity of KMnO,-Na,SOJ was greatly enhanced in the presence of loxoprofen and naproxen. The mechanism of the CL reaction was studied by the kinetic process and UV-vis absorption and the conditions were optimized. Under optimized conditions, the CL intensity was 8 5 7 linear with loxoprofen and naproxen concentration in the range of 7.0 X 10- -1. 0 x 10- glmL and 2.0 x 10- - 4.0 X 10-· glmL with the detection limit of 2.0 x 10- 8 glmL and 3.0 x 10- 8 glmL (SIN = 3), respectively. The relative standard deviations were 2.39% and 1.37% for 5.0 x 10- 7 glmL naproxen and 5.0 x 10- 7 glmL loxoprofen (n = 10), respectively. The proposed method was satisfactorily applied to the determination of loxoprofen and naproxen in pharmaceutical prepa­ rations. Keywords: chemiluminescence; KMnO, ; loxoprofen; naproxen 1 Introduction which does not require sophisticated instruments and too many chemical reagents.
