NSAIDs & COX Inhibitors MCQs: practice questions

Sample NSAIDs & COX Inhibitors multiple-choice questions from Analgesics, Anesthesia & Inflammation.

What was the principal rationale for developing COX-2-selective inhibitors?
- A. To inhibit leukotriene synthesis
- B. To reduce inflammation while preserving more COX-1-mediated gastric protection
- C. To increase platelet aggregation directly
- D. To eliminate all renal prostaglandin effects
- E. To increase gastric acid secretion
Which prostanoid promotes platelet aggregation?
- A. Prostacyclin
- B. PGE2
- C. PGD2
- D. PGE1
- E. Thromboxane A2
Why can COX-2-selective inhibitors still cause serious gastrointestinal injury?
- A. COX-2 is the only gastric protective enzyme
- B. They directly activate gastric acid secretion
- C. They irreversibly destroy mucosal cells
- D. They inhibit lipoxygenase in the stomach
- E. COX-2 selectivity reduces but does not eliminate GI toxicity
Which NSAID is a prodrug converted to an active sulfide?
- A. Ibuprofen
- B. Piroxicam
- C. Celecoxib
- D. Ketorolac
- E. Sulindac

- A. Nabumetone
- B. Tolmetin
- C. Piroxicam
- D. Flurbiprofen
- E. Etodolac
Which prostanoid has antiplatelet and vasodilator actions?

What distinguishes aspirin from most other NSAIDs?
Which inflammatory mediator is not directly inhibited by NSAIDs?
Which NSAID is associated with reduced platelet inhibition and reduced GI bleeding compared with many NSAIDs?
Why do NSAIDs reduce fever?
Which NSAID has historically been used most often for acute gout?
Which adverse effect can result from inhibition of renal prostaglandin synthesis by NSAIDs?
Which COX-2-selective inhibitor remains marketed?
Which enzyme is directly inhibited by aspirin and most NSAIDs?
Which NSAID is a long-acting oxicam derivative?
Which adverse effect is most directly related to loss of gastric prostaglandin protection during NSAID therapy?
Which NSAID is not recommended as a simple analgesic or antipyretic because of its adverse-effect profile?
Which NSAID is associated with an increased incidence of hypertension during long-term use in women?
Which NSAID has a relatively high incidence of gastrointestinal disturbances and a half-life of about 2 hours?
Which statement best describes NSAID treatment of rheumatic disease?
Which NSAID is especially associated with headache and can also cause tinnitus, dizziness, or confusion?
Which renal complication is a recognized adverse effect of NSAIDs?
Which prostaglandins are most important in NSAID-mediated analgesia?
Which NSAID has reduced platelet-function inhibition compared with many traditional NSAIDs?
Which NSAID is also available as a topical ophthalmic preparation?
