Mechanisms of action of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and therapeutic considerations

Abstract
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic properties. Although most NSAIDs inhibit prostaglandin synthesis, these agents also have important pharmacologic actions unrelated to their effects on prostaglandins. This review examines the evidence for diverse mechanisms of action of NSAIDs and their use in sports injuries.
