Overview

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are a group of medications commonly used to treat pain, swelling, and inflammation. They are available both over-the-counter and as prescription medications. They work by blocking the production of certain compounds in the body that cause inflammation and pain. They are commonly used to treat conditions such as arthritis, gout, menstrual cramps, headaches, muscle aches, and toothaches. They are also used to treat fever, injury, and post-surgical pain. They have been found to have some heart, blood pressure, and kidney-protective effects, and can help reduce the risk of colorectal cancer. NSAIDs are generally considered safe and effective, but should be taken with caution, as they may cause side effects such as stomach upset and increased bleeding risk.
