drug of abuse

Any agent that impairs behavior, health, social interactions, or thought and lends itself to compulsive use. Many of these agents, including ecstasy, lysergic acid (LSD), methamphetamines, the opiates, and phencyclidine, are considered controlled substances in the U.S. Alcohol and tobacco products are not traditionally considered to be drugs of abuse although they are addictive and harm many people.

neuromuscular blocking drug

nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug

Abbreviation: NSAID
A drug that has analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic actions. NSAIDs are used to treat acute and chronic pain, e.g., of injuries, arthritis, and dysmenorrhea, to reduce inflammation, and to prevent complications in serious illness such as sepsis.

CAUTION!

All NSAIDS increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding and ulceration and, to some extent, the risk of renal failure, abnormalities in liver function, myocardial infarction, and stroke. These side effects occur most often in older patients, e.g., those with multiple risk factors for atherosclerotic vascular disease.

Many patients experience side effects of these medications, including upper gastrointestinal inflammation or bleeding. These side effects occur most often in the elderly, tobacco users, and those who drink alcohol. Other potential complications include acute and chronic renal failure, liver function abnormalities, and aseptic meningitis.

Members of this class of drugs include aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen.

Patient care

Patients who are sensitive to NSAID therapy are told to inform caregivers so that they will not be given NSAIDs. Patients are instructed to watch for adverse effects when taking NSAIDs and to report any gastrointestinal pain or bleeding. The patient should be cautioned not to take NSAIDs on an empty stomach but with milk, a meal, or an antacid. Skin should be protected from the sun. Pregnant women should avoid NSAIDs during their last trimester.

orphan drug

A drug effective for a certain illness but not profitable for manufacturers to produce.

performance-enhancing drug

Any drug used to gain an advantage in sports. Such drugs may improve endurance or strength or accelerate healing after injury.

pioneer drug

psychotherapeutic drug

A drug to improve the principal symptoms, e.g., anxiety, depression, and psychosis, in the mentally disturbed.

psychotropic drug

A drug that affects psychic function, behavior, or experience. Many drugs can be classed as intentionally psychotropic, but many other drugs also occasionally may produce undesired psychotropic side effects.

radioprotective drug

A drug that protects humans against the damaging or lethal effects of ionizing radiation. For example, Lugol's solution blocks the uptake of inhaled or ingested radioactive iodine by the thyroid.

recreational drug

A drug used for enjoyment rather than for a medical purpose.

scheduled drug

See: Controlled Substance Act

slow-acting antirheumatic drug

Abbreviation: SAARD
Disease-modifying antirheumatic drug.

soft drug

1. A drug that is easily metabolized by the body to inactive, nontoxic metabolites.2. An illicit drug that has fewer psychoactive, addictive, or other adverse effects than a street drug orhard drug.3. A drug that dissolves in the mouth and is quickly absorbed.

specialty drug

A drug that has unusually complex requirements for development, manufacturing, storage, transportation, administration and/or monitoring. Most drugs in this category are extraordinarily expensive.
