Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are known by their acronym NSAIDs. They are drugs that, due to their mechanism of action, have several applications such as inducing analgesia, reducing fever and inflammation, as well as an antiplatelet effect.
NSAIDs are one of the most prescribed medications worldwide. Due to their analgesic effect they are used in rheumatic pain, in inflammatory and degenerative diseases. In addition, they are indicated in non-rheumatic diseases such as migraine, dental pain and in general, in any inflammatory process.
Its use is very widespread, even as a self-medication. This is because they are drugs that are available without a prescription or medical supervision, with the consequent potential risk of side effects.
It is also important to note that no NSAID anti-inflammatory pain reliever is better or safer than another and should not be taken if you are taking another prescription drug at the same time, as they can interact and cause problems.
