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… Expand

Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs During Pregnancy and the Initiation of Lactation
TLDR
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. Expand
Selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors in dentistry: limitations and adverse effects
TLDR
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. Expand
Use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in pregnancy: impact on the fetus and newborn.
TLDR
The placental transfer and metabolism of NSAIDs, and the adverse impact of prenatal NSAID exposure on the offspring are discussed in detail. Expand
Prenatal tolerability of acetaminophen and other over-the-counter non-selective cyclooxygenase inhibitors.
TLDR
For a long time, acetaminophen was considered as a relatively safe antipyretic and analgesic drug during pregnancy, however, a new data indicate that it may increase the risk of cryptorchidism and asthma during childhood as well as preeclampsia, preterm birth, maternal phlebothrombosis and pulmonary embolism. Expand
Use of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs in dental practice. A review.
TLDR
The present study reviews the information currently available on NSAIDs, with special emphasis on those aspects related to dental practice, and discusses paracetamol and ibuprofen, the most widely used NSAIDs. Expand
Modulation of prostaglandin activity, part 1: Prostaglandin inhibition in the management of nonrheumatologic diseases: Immunologic and hematologic aspects
TLDR
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. Expand
Analgesics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), muscle relaxants, and antigout medications
TLDR
Paracetomol, the most commonly used analgesic, is the preferred choice and is considered to be relatively safe throughout the pregnancy, while non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen and diclofenac may be used, but should be avoided after the twenty-eighth week of pregnancy. Expand
Antirheumatic medications in pregnancy and breastfeeding.
TLDR
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. Expand
Safety and Efficacy of Non-prescription, Over-the-Counter (OTC) Ibuprofen
TLDR
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.

TLDR
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. Expand

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs as a possible cause for reversible infertility.
TLDR
NSAIDs, used largely for the treatment of rheumatological conditions, may be responsible for some cases of infertility, as reported in four women suffering from severe arthritis, on long-term NSAIDs and undergoing extensive investigation and treatment for infertility. Expand
Analysis of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug literature for potential developmental toxicity in rats and rabbits.
TLDR
A comprehensive analysis of the non-clinical NSAID literature demonstrated a possible association between exposure to NSAIDs and developmental anomalies, and these anomalies were similar for aspirin and for other NSAIDs, but effects occurred at a much lower incidence with non-aspirin NSAIDs than previously reported with aspirin.

Indomethacin is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory analgesic used in the treatment of disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and osteoarthritis. Prostaglandins have a… Expand

TLDR
Pstaglandin inhibition with some nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs appear promising in the relief of some premenstrual symptoms and in the prevention of postoperative pelvic adhesion formation, but more studies are needed in women. Expand
[Neonatal chronic kidney failure associated with cyclo-oxygenase-2 inhibitors administered during pregnancy].
TLDR
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.

TLDR
COX-3, a variant of COX-1, has been found in canine brain and is inhibited by acetaminophen and dipyrone at physiological concentrations, which suggests the presence of cell-specific differences that govern COX inhibition by these drugs. Expand
COX-1 and COX-3 inhibitors.
TLDR
It is possible that inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 is the major action of aspirin involved in its analgesic and antipyretic effects, and inhibition of COX-2 is responsible for its anti-inflammatory action. Expand
Cyclooxygenase‐independent actions of cyclooxygenase inhibitors
TLDR
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. Expand
Cyclooxygenase inhibitors--current status and future prospects.
TLDR
Agents that inhibit COX-2 while sparing COx-1 represent a new attractive therapeutic development and could represent a major advance in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Expand

Data on the use of antirheumatic drugs during pregnancy is presented, addressing the risk of teratogenicity, possible long-term effects on the infant exposed to drugs antenatally, and maternal side-effects which interfere with pregnancy. Expand
