Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are useful medications for the management of pain. However, Cox-2 NSAIDs have been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular side-effects and there are now concerns that this increased risk may extend to all NSAIDs. This article outlines the action of NSAIDs and discusses the evidence for a link with increased cardiovascular risk.
非甾体抗炎药(NSAIDs)是治疗疼痛的有效药物。然而,环氧化酶-2(Cox-2)抑制剂类非甾体抗炎药已被证实会增加心血管副作用的风险,目前人们担心这种风险的增加可能适用于所有非甾体抗炎药。本文概述了非甾体抗炎药的作用,并讨论了其与心血管风险增加之间关联的证据。
