An article about the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug Tiaprofenic acid

Tiaprofenic acid[edit]

Tiaprofenic acid is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used for its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. It is commonly prescribed for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and other musculoskeletal disorders.

Pharmacology[edit]

Tiaprofenic acid works by inhibiting the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which are involved in the synthesis of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are mediators of inflammation and pain, and by reducing their production, tiaprofenic acid alleviates symptoms associated with inflammatory conditions.

Mechanism of action[edit]

The primary mechanism of action of tiaprofenic acid is the non-selective inhibition of COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes. This inhibition leads to decreased formation of prostaglandins, which are responsible for causing inflammation, pain, and fever.

Clinical use[edit]

Tiaprofenic acid is indicated for the management of pain and inflammation in conditions such as:

Side effects[edit]

As with other NSAIDs, tiaprofenic acid can cause a range of side effects. Common side effects include:

Gastrointestinal disturbances such as nausea, vomiting, and dyspepsia
Headache
Dizziness

More serious side effects may include:

Contraindications[edit]

Tiaprofenic acid is contraindicated in patients with:

Known hypersensitivity to tiaprofenic acid or other NSAIDs
History of asthma attacks, urticaria, or other allergic-type reactions after taking aspirin or other NSAIDs
Active peptic ulcer disease

-'''Tendinopathy''' is a type of [[musculoskeletal disorder]] that affects the [[tendon]], a flexible but inelastic cord of strong fibrous collagen tissue attaching a muscle to a bone. It is characterized by [[pain]], [[swelling]], and impaired performance.
+{{Short description|An article about the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug Tiaprofenic acid}}
-== Causes ==
+==Tiaprofenic acid==
-Tendinopathy is often caused by [[overuse]] of a certain body part, leading to a repetitive strain injury. Other causes include [[aging]], certain diseases such as [[diabetes]] and [[rheumatoid arthritis]], and [[physical trauma]].
+[[File:Tiaprofenic_acid.svg|thumb|right|Chemical structure of Tiaprofenic acid]]
+'''Tiaprofenic acid''' is a [[nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug]] (NSAID) used for its [[analgesic]] and [[anti-inflammatory]] properties. It is commonly prescribed for the treatment of [[rheumatoid arthritis]], [[osteoarthritis]], and other musculoskeletal disorders.
-== Symptoms ==
+==Pharmacology==
-The main symptoms of tendinopathy are [[pain]] and [[tenderness]] in the affected tendon. Other symptoms may include [[swelling]], [[stiffness]], and reduced strength in the affected area.

-== Diagnosis ==
+===Mechanism of action===
-Diagnosis of tendinopathy is usually based on the patient's medical history and a physical examination. [[Imaging tests]] such as [[ultrasound]] or [[MRI]] may also be used to confirm the diagnosis.
+The primary mechanism of action of tiaprofenic acid is the non-selective inhibition of COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes. This inhibition leads to decreased formation of prostaglandins, which are responsible for causing inflammation, pain, and fever.
-== Treatment ==
+==Clinical use==
-Treatment for tendinopathy typically involves [[physical therapy]], [[pain management]], and sometimes [[surgery]]. The goal of treatment is to relieve pain and restore function to the affected tendon.
+Tiaprofenic acid is indicated for the management of pain and inflammation in conditions such as:
+* [[Rheumatoid arthritis]]
+* [[Osteoarthritis]]
+* [[Ankylosing spondylitis]]
+* Acute musculoskeletal disorders
-== Prevention ==
+==Side effects==
-Prevention strategies for tendinopathy include regular [[exercise]], proper [[ergonomics]] at work and home, and avoiding activities that put excessive strain on the tendons.
+As with other NSAIDs, tiaprofenic acid can cause a range of side effects. Common side effects include:
+* [[Gastrointestinal]] disturbances such as nausea, vomiting, and [[dyspepsia]]
+* [[Headache]]
+* [[Dizziness]]

+More serious side effects may include:
-* [[Tendonitis]]
+* [[Gastrointestinal bleeding]]
-* [[Tennis elbow]]
+* [[Renal impairment]]
-* [[Achilles tendinitis]]
+* [[Hypersensitivity reactions]]
