چکیده
PURPOSE Identification of tolerable alternative analgesics is crucial for management in nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)-sensitive patients. We investigated cross-reactivity of acetaminophen and celecoxib according to the type of aspirin/NSAID hypersensitivity and aimed to determine the risk factors for cross-intolerance. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients intolerant to aspirin and NSAIDs who had undergone an acetaminophen and/or celecoxib oral provocation test. Aspirin/NSAID hypersensitivity was classified into 4 types according to a recently proposed classification: aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD), aspirin-exacerbated chronic urticaria (AECU), aspirin-induced acute urticaria/angioedema (AIAU), and NSAID-induced blended reaction (NIRD). RESULTS A total of 180 patients with hypersensitivity to aspirin and NSAIDs were enrolled; 149 acetaminophen provocation test results and 145 celecoxib provocation test results were analyzed. The overall cross-reaction rates to acetaminophen and celecoxib were 24.8% and 10.3%, respectively. There was a significant difference in the cross-reactivity to acetaminophen according to the type of NSAID hypersensitivity. Cross-reactivity to acetaminophen was highest in the AECU group (43.9%), followed by the AERD (33.3%), NIBR (16.7%), and AIAU (12.5%) groups. Underlying chronic urticaria was more prevalent in patients with cross-intolerance to both acetaminophen (P=0.001) and celecoxib (P=0.033). Intolerance to acetaminophen was associated with intolerance to celecoxib (P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS Acetaminophen and celecoxib may induce adverse reactions in a non-negligible portion of aspirin/NSAID-sensitive patients. Physicians should be aware of the possible cross-reactions of these alternative drugs and consider an oral challenge test to confirm their tolerability.

BACKGROUND Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors have been found to be safe alternatives in adults with cross-intolerant hypersensitivity to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). However they are usually not prescribed in children and there is little information about their tolerance in the pediatric age group. OBJECTIVE This study aims to evaluate the tolerance to etoricoxib in childr...

Celecoxib is a form of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that directly targets COX-2, an enzyme responsible for inflammation and pain which is the main feature of celecoxib. The goal of this survey is to assess the effect of celecoxib on male-reproductive s...

Introduction: Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) are used in treating pathologic conditions such as fever, pain and inflammation by inhibiting cyclooxygenase and consequently prostaglandin production. Recently , the discovery of different isoforms of this enzyme, Cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) andCyclooxygense-2 (COX-2), has led to the synthesis and introduction of novel drugs with select...
