NSAIDS by Krushna Sangle is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are a diverse group of medications that provide analgesic, antipyretic, and anti-inflammatory effects without causing central nervous system depression. They inhibit prostaglandin synthesis through cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, with varying effects on COX-1 and COX-2, leading to pain relief and reduced inflammation. Common examples include aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen, each with specific uses, side effects, and contraindications.
