Managing the adverse effects of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs

Abstract: Conventional medical treatment for rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis includes the use of NSAIDs (traditional and selective inhibitors of cyclooxygenase [COX]-2), because they provide unmistakable and significant health benefits in the treatment of pain and inflammation. However, they are associated with an increased risk of serious gastrointestinal (GI) and cardiovascular (CV) adverse events. Both beneficial and adverse effects are due to the same mechanism of action, which is inhibition of COX-dependent… Show more

“…The probability of sufering severe adverse efects is correlated with the dose and the age of the patients, the elderly being more vulnerable. Lower starting doses and reduction of doses in patients at risk are good preventive strategies, but further studies are necessary in order to develop genetic or biochemical markers of NSAID toxicity, in order to beter anticipate the advent of an unwanted drug-induced adverse efect [5].…”

“…This increase in prostaglandin production was associated with de novo production of new COX protein. Further, the H 2 receptor blockers are presently recommended for both the prevention and treatment of gastroduodenal ulcers associated with NSAID use (24) . Ranitidine is a histamine H 2 -receptor antagonist that inhibits stomach acid production.…”
