| | NSAIDs have become a very important weapon in the control of inflammation and pain in joint disease, and in other chronic, painful conditions. | | | Because of their pain killing effects, they are also used (perhaps unwisely) in a variety of painful conditions such as backache, headache, toothache, etc. In this article, we are concerned with how the drugs work, their untoward effects on the gut, and how the bad effects can be minimized. | | | Those Cox-2 drugs that remain available should be used only when you and your doctor agree that an NSAID is the best drug for your painful condition, a high risk of gastrointestinal bleeding is present and the overall risk of untoward events are acceptable given the degree of your disability and pain. |

| | 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. | | | As a result of this side-effect they cannot be used in someone with a history of peptic ulcer, except in exceptional circumstances, under close medical supervision. | | | There have been recent advances, in that some NSAIDs are said to be more specific in dealing with inflammation and less likely to irritate the digestive (gastro-intestinal) system, but nothing has yet overcome this problem altogether. |

| | Berger: NSAIDs |
| | Although it is impossible to state conclusively that certain NSAIDs are "better" than others, it is worth remembering that despite their popularity, they are often powerful drugs and should be used only after more conservative (and possibly more physiological) non-drug therapies such as rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE) have been attempted (4,6,10). | | | Problems of current research include studies that have been conducted without double-blind designs (both subject and investigator are unaware of which treatment the subject receives), studies that have been conducted without placebo controls, and studies that lacked control over the interval between injury and the start of treatment. | | | This paper explores the role of both non-prescription and prescription NSAIDs in sports medicine and attempts to provide athletes and those who work with them with an understanding of the beneficial actions and negative effects of these common drugs. |
