PREVIEW

Although nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are effective analgesic and anti-inflammatory agents, they may have adverse effects on the gastrointestinal, hepatic, renal, pulmonary, and platelet aggregation systems in susceptible patients. Careful consideration of the risks and benefits, judicious dosing, and careful monitoring by the primary care physician are therefore essential. The authors of this article review both the therapeutic and adverse effects of NSAIDs and provide suggestions for safe clinical use.
