NSAIDs constitute a diverse range of analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory agents, including aspirin, paracetamol and other traditional anti-inflammatory drugs, as well as the selective COX2 inhibitors. This series uses excerpts and diagrams with permission from the second edition of Pharmacology in Clinical Practice: Application Made Easy for Nurses and Allied Health Professionals, and is compiled and expanded upon by the author.
