NSAIDs or cyclooxygenase inhibitors (COX inhibitors), including aspirin, are widely used to treat pain, fever and the articular symptoms of chronic rheumatic diseases. Manifestations of connective tissue or autoimmune diseases are commonly treated with glucocorticosteroids. The effect and side effects of NSAIDs depend on the isoforms of cyclooxygenases that they preferentially or selectively inhibit. The use of COX inhibitors has recently been associated with infertility and miscarriage. The…

- MedicineAnesthesia and analgesia
- 2013
In the third trimester, NSAIDs and aspirin are usually avoided because of significant fetal risks such as renal injury, oligohydramnios, constriction of the ductus arteriosus (with potential for persistent pulmonary hypertension in the newborn), necrotizing enterocolitis, and intracranial hemorrhage.

The coxibs should be used in patients over 60 years, with a history of peptic ulcer or gastrointestinal bleeding, chronic users of corticosteroids and anticoagulants without concomitant cardiovascular risk, and in dentistry, where there is no major evidence of the benefits of using these drugs compared to traditional NSAIDs.

Evidence is provided that shows the involvement of PGs in immunosuppression and secondary anemia, as well as the efficacy of inhibited overproduction ofPGs in many pathologic conditions other than rheumatologic disease.

Because many patients are hesitant to use antirheumatic medications during pregnancy, honest and accurate discussions about pregnancy planning and management are important to help women make decisions that are in their and their offspring's best interest.
Safety and Efficacy of Non-prescription, Over-the-Counter (OTC) Ibuprofen
- Medicine, Biology
- 2015
The relative safety and efficacy of ibuprofen requires consideration in special groups such as the elderly, young and during pregnancy and lactation, and the frequently accepted view that safety at OTC doses in normal adults may be extended to being similar in these special groups may be generally applicable.

Despite the possibility of hepatotoxicity in overdose, paracetamol represents a better all-round option for most patients requiring OTC analgesic therapy, and is the simple analgesic drug of first choice.

The occurrence of chronic renal failure in strict relationship with maternal nimesulide assumption in this case is strongly suggestive for a pharmacological damage, either direct or mediated by renin angiotensin inhibition, and likely to account for the different outcome of similarly treated patients.

Differences in cyclooxygenase‐independent mechanisms may have consequences for the specific use of these drugs in individual patients because additional effects may either enhance the efficacy or reduce the toxicity of the respective compounds.
