Definition
> GI : NSAIDs can irritate the stomach
lining and increase the risk of ulcers and
bleeding.
> Kidneys: blood urea nitrogen, creatinine. NSAIDs can
decrease blood flow to the kidneys leading to a
decline in kidney function. This risk is
particularly high in older adults who may
already have reduced kidney function.
> Liver: AST/ALT elevated liver enzymes
NSAIDs can cause a temporary increase in liver
enzymes, which can indicate liver damage.
> Heart attack and stroke: risk increased,
especially in high doses and with long-term use.
Additional considerations:
Dehydration: Older adults are more
susceptible to dehydration, which can
exacerbate the risks associated with NSAIDs.
Drinking plenty of fluids is crucial.
Polypharmacy: Older adults often take
,multiple medications, which can increase the risk
of interactions
,and side effects. Careful monitoring and
coordination of medications are essential.
Underlying health conditions: Certain underlying
health conditions, such as diabetes and heart
disease, can put older adults at higher risk of
complications from NSAIDs.
Laboratory monitoring: Regular monitoring of
laboratory tests such as AST, ALT, blood urea
nitrogen, creatinine, and electrolytes is crucial
for detecting early signs of organ damage
associated with NSAID use.

Osmotic diuretics: Mannitol is a commonly used osmotic
diuretic that draws fluid out of the brain and reduces
swelling.
Loop diuretics: Medications like Lasix increase urine output
and help to decrease fluid volume in the body, including the
brain.
Antipyretics: Medications that reduce fever can help to
decrease IICP by lowering metabolic rate and reducing
, brain inflammation.
