Cox-2 inhibitors are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) which selectively inhibit cyclooxygenase-2.
Antiplatelet drugs interact with platelets, which is a type of blood cell, to block platelets from aggregating into harmful clots.
Drugs act on the neurons in the limbic system.
Cyclooxygenase (COX), the key enzyme required for the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins was first identified over 20 years ago. Drugs, like aspirin, that inhibit cyclooxygenase activity have been available to the public for about 100 years. In the past decade, however, more progress has been made in understanding the role of cyclooxygenase enzymes in biology and disease than at any other time in history. Two cyclooxygenase isoforms have been identified and are referred to as COX-1 and COX-2. Under many circumstances the COX-1 enzyme is produced constitutively (i.e., gastric mucosa) whereas COX-2 is inducible (i.e., sites of inflammation). Here, we summarize the current understanding of the role of cyclooxygenase-1 and -2 in different physiological situations and disease processes ranging from inflammation to cancer.
His use of drugs and alcohol led him on a pathway to depression.
Motrin (ibuprofen) and other medications in the class of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) affect platelet aggregation (decrease the ability of platelets to clump together and form clots). Therefore, Motrin can cause bleeding if you have low platelets or your platelets don't function properly.
Anesthesia is the drug class that includes local, general, and nerve blocks.
Prolonged bleeding can be caused by problems with the platelets count or platelets function. Certain drugs can also cause prolonged bleeding such as blood thinners.
Mesolimbic Dopamine
A psychoactive effect is an affect on mood or behavior caused by the misuse of drugs.
Drugs that produce a sensation of well-being typically stimulate the brain's reward pathway, which includes areas such as the nucleus accumbens and the ventral tegmental area. This pathway is involved in the release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with pleasure and reinforcement of rewarding behaviors.
It may be reaction of body to certain drugs or more commonly to insecticides from your food. In febrile illness, this can happen in dengue.
