.. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are medications that relieve or reduce pain and inflammation. The most common examples of drugs in this group are aspirin ibuprofen and Diclofenac.
Anti-inflammatory drugs reduce inflammation, minimizing its direct effect on pain-nerve stimulation and sensitivity, and in the process reduces the resulting inflammatory heat and swelling. In this way, NSAIDs help relieve pain.
Other uses of NSAIDs include : reducing high temperature and fever,relief of pain associated with menstrual cramps,arthritis,toothache as well as joint or bone injuries,sprains and strains.
It should be noted that NSAIDs should be used carefully and not for prolonged periods. Long-term or high-dosage use of NSAIDs could also lead to ulcers developing in the gut, known as peptic ulcers. This is because prostaglandins protect the stomach lining by aiding it to produce mucus. By reducing the number of prostaglandins in the body, NSAIDs leave the stomach prone to the effects of stomach acid. Patients who suffer from peptic ulcer should notify their Physician or Pharmacist when pain relievers are required......Visit us today at Judan Pharmacy Limited,Deeper Life Road,Choba for more drug information and services........healthcare redefined!...
