Abstract
NONSTEROIDAL ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DRUGS (NSAIDs) are the most widely used medicines globally. NSAIDs relieve pain (analgesic effect) and fever (antipyretic effect). They have also some anti-inflammatory properties, but as anti-inflammatory, they are noticeably less potent than GLUCOCORTICOIDS or DISEASE-MODIFYING ANTI-RHEUMATIC DRUGS (DMARDs). Non-selective NSAIDs also inhibit PLATELET aggregation, and acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin, ASA) is used in the (secondary) prevention of myocardial infarction and stroke.
