About

NSAIDs are a class of medications widely used for their analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic properties. They exert their effects primarily by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which are crucial in the synthesis of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are lipid compounds that mediate inflammation, pain, and fever. By reducing prostaglandin production, NSAIDs effectively alleviate symptoms associated with various inflammatory conditions and pain states. Their mechanism of action involves both COX-1 and COX-2 inhibition, though selective COX-2 inhibitors exist to minimize gastrointestinal side effects.

This medication is typically prescribed for short-term management of acute pain or for chronic conditions requiring anti-inflammatory action. It is absorbed orally and metabolized in the liver, with excretion primarily via the kidneys. The onset of action is generally within 30-60 minutes, and the duration of effect varies depending on the specific NSAID and its formulation. Careful consideration of patient history, particularly regarding gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, and renal health, is essential before initiating therapy due to potential systemic effects.

Safety Measures

• Alcohol - Concurrent use of alcohol with NSAIDs can increase the risk of gastrointestinal irritation and bleeding. It is advisable to limit or avoid alcohol consumption.
• Pregnancy - NSAIDs are generally not recommended during the third trimester of pregnancy due to potential adverse effects on the fetal cardiovascular system (premature closure of the ductus arteriosus) and renal function. Use in early pregnancy should be under medical supervision.
• Breastfeeding - Small amounts of some NSAIDs may pass into breast milk. While generally considered low risk for short-term use, consult a healthcare professional before use during breastfeeding.
• Liver - Use with caution in patients with pre-existing liver conditions, as NSAIDs are metabolized in the liver and can, in rare cases, cause liver enzyme elevations or injury. Regular monitoring may be required.
• Kidney - NSAIDs can impair renal function, especially in patients with pre-existing kidney disease, dehydration, or heart failure. Avoid or use with extreme caution, and monitor kidney function closely.
• Lung - Patients with asthma, particularly aspirin-sensitive asthma, may experience bronchospasm or exacerbation of symptoms with NSAID use. Use with caution and monitor respiratory status.
