Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and cardiovascular safety - translating pharmacological data into clinical readouts.
Authors: Tacconelli S, Bruno A, Grande R, Ballerini P, Patrignani P Abstract INTRODUCTION: The pharmacological management of pain includes the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs(NSAIDs). They comprise traditional(t) NSAIDs and selective cyclooxygenase(COX)-2 inhibitors (named coxibs). The analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects of NSAIDs are dependent on the extent and duration of COX-2 inhibition in the spinal cord and inflammatory sites.
