This webinar starts with the inflammatory pathway, from phospholipase A to arachidonic acid and prostaglandins, and the normal roles prostaglandins play in the gut, kidneys, temperature regulation and haemostasis. It explains how corticosteroids and NSAIDs act at different points on that pathway, the roles of COX-1 and COX-2, and how NSAIDs are classed as non-selective, COX-2 preferential or COX-2 selective. It also looks at which common drugs fall into each class and how grapiprant differs from older NSAIDs.
Presented by Jess Male at the 2022 ACVN Student Conference.
Includes the full recording (1 hour), the presentation slides as a PDF, and a quiz. Pass the quiz to receive a certificate worth 1 AVNAT point.

It then covers the side effects of NSAIDs and corticosteroids, why the two should not be given together, and the differences between dogs, cats and horses. It finishes with a quick review of the key points.
