Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug Toxicity in Children
Abstract:Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are one of the most widely used classes of medications in children. Despite a reported positive safety profile, NSAIDs have been associated with toxicities in both overdose and routine use. Most children with NSAID overdoses are asymptomatic and should be managed conservatively, whereas a small number may present with severe symptoms. We review NSAID exposures in children and strategies for their clinical evaluation and management.
