| | Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The term "non-steroidal" is used to distinguish these drugs from steroids, which (amongst a broad range of other effects) have a similar eicosanoid-depressing, anti-inflammatory action. | | | The most prominent members of this group of drugs are aspirin and ibuprofen. | | | Certain NSAIDs, such as aspirin, have been marketed in enteric-coated formulations which are claimed to reduce the incidence of gastrointestinal ADRs. |

| | In some embodiments, the method comprises administering a combination of a non-steroidal anti- inflammatory agent and a zwitterionic phospholipid to an animal having received an anti- secretory agent, wherein the pharmacological activity of the NSAID is greater than the pharmacological activity of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent administered in the absence of a zwitterionic phospholipid. | | | For non-salicylate NSAIDs (indomethacin, diclofenac and naproxen) which predominantly induce injury to the mid-distal regions of the small intestine, the quantity of intraluminal blood was assessed in the distal half of the small intestine of rats who were pre-and post-treated with the Nitric Oxide synthetase inhibitor, L-NAME (N-nitro-L- arginine methyl ester). | | | This is because antisecretory drugs are observed by the present inventor to reduce the anti-pyretic action of NSAIDs. |

| | In rheumatoid arthritis even though the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are useful in controlling the pain and stiffness, they probably do not affect some of the other features of the arthritis, particularly the possibility of developing erosions or cysts in the bones. | | | Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are used for most types of arthritis and for many other types of pain that can occur in muscles, joints and bones. | | | Many of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs now come in a slow release form where the release of the drug from the capsule or tablet is delayed. |

| | Medinfo: Non Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs |
| | Non Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) are medications which, as well as having pain-relieving (analgesic) effects, have the effect of reducing inflammation when used over a period of time. | | | Paracetamol is often adequate for osteoarthritis, but NSAIDs are particularly useful in the inflammatory forms of arthritis (eg rheumatoid arthritis) and, sometimes, in the more severe forms of osteoarthritis. | | | NSAIDs can be used as simple pain killers (analgesics), but paracetamol is usually preferable, as it is likely to have less unwanted effects, and costs less. |
