NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs)

NSAIDs are among the most widely used medications in the world. They relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and lower fever. Common examples include ibuprofen, naproxen, and celecoxib. They are available both over-the-counter and by prescription.

Mechanism of Action

NSAIDs work by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes — specifically COX-1 and COX-2 — which are responsible for producing prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are chemical mediators that cause pain, inflammation, and fever. By blocking their production, NSAIDs reduce these symptoms.

Conditions Treated

NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) medications are used to treat the following conditions:
