An increasing number of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is available for clinical use each year. This article reviews significant differences between NSAIDs currently available in Canada, and helps the clinician to evaluate new NSAIDs. While their mechanism of action and efficacy are similar, side effects and cost vary considerably from one agent to another. Because all NSAIDs can produce adverse effects, patients, especially if they are elderly, should be selected carefully for treatment with a particular agent.
每年都有越来越多的非甾体抗炎药（NSAIDs）可供临床使用。本文综述了加拿大目前可用的 NSAIDs 之间的显著差异，帮助临床医生评估新的 NSAIDs。虽然它们的作用机制和疗效相似，但副作用和成本在不同药物之间有很大差异。由于所有 NSAIDs 都可能产生不良反应，因此患者，特别是老年人，应谨慎选择特定药物进行治疗。
