The 50 pages that link to Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, each with the reason it gives.

• InflammationRelated: These medicines reduce inflammatory prostaglandin production and its symptoms.

• CorticosteroidCompared with: NSAIDs reduce inflammation through different pathways and generally do not suppress immunity as broadly.

• PainBroader topic: These drugs can help when inflammatory processes contribute to pain.

• OsteoarthritisRelated: Topical or oral forms are commonly used to manage osteoarthritis pain.

• AspirinNarrower topic: Aspirin belongs to this drug family, whose members share cyclooxygenase inhibition.

• EndometriosisRelated: These drugs are commonly used to manage menstrual and pelvic pain associated with endometriosis.

• CyclooxygenaseNarrower topic: This broader class acts on cyclooxygenase to lower prostanoid production.

• ProstaglandinCompared with: NSAIDs relieve symptoms by suppressing prostaglandin production.

• MorphineCompared with: These drugs relieve many kinds of pain without activating opioid receptors.

• AcetaminophenCompared with: Unlike most NSAIDs, acetaminophen has little peripheral anti-inflammatory effect.

• Peptic ulcer diseaseRelated: Prolonged use weakens stomach and duodenal defenses by reducing protective prostaglandins.

• AnalgesicBroader topic: NSAIDs are widely used for inflammatory and musculoskeletal pain.

• Arachidonic acidCompared with: These drugs limit prostaglandin synthesis from arachidonic acid.

• Pain managementRelated: These drugs often help inflammatory and musculoskeletal pain, but can harm the stomach, kidneys, or cardiovascular system.

• EicosanoidNarrower topic: This drug class targets a central enzyme pathway of eicosanoid production.

• IbuprofenNarrower topic: Ibuprofen belongs to this drug family, whose members share cyclooxygenase inhibition and several class risks.

• NephrotoxicityBroader topic: These drugs can reduce kidney blood flow, especially during dehydration or heart failure.

• DysmenorrheaRelated: These medicines inhibit prostaglandin production and commonly relieve primary menstrual cramps.

• ParacetamolNarrower topic: Paracetamol is often compared with this class but is not usually classified as an NSAID.

• PrednisoneCompared with: NSAIDs can reduce inflammation through a different mechanism and generally do not suppress immunity as broadly.

• AnalgesiaBroader topic: These drugs are used when inflammation contributes to pain.

• CodeineCompared with: NSAIDs can treat some pain without opioid dependence or respiratory suppression.

• Opioid analgesicsCompared with: These drugs treat many painful conditions without activating opioid receptors.

• Acute painRelated: These medicines often relieve acute pain driven by inflammation.

• Postoperative painRelated: These drugs can address inflammatory pain and reduce opioid requirements after suitable procedures.

• Reactive arthritisRelated: These drugs are commonly used first to control joint symptoms.

• AntipyreticNarrower topic: Ibuprofen and aspirin are antipyretics within this broader drug class, with shared risks.

• Disease-modifying antirheumatic drugCompared with: NSAIDs relieve symptoms but generally do not prevent structural joint damage.

• OxycodoneCompared with: These drugs may serve as opioid-sparing alternatives for some kinds of pain.

• AdenomyosisRelated: These medicines are often used to ease adenomyosis-related menstrual pain.

• Ankylosing spondylitisRelated: NSAIDs are commonly used first-line medicines for pain and stiffness.

• ArthritisRelated: These drugs can relieve arthritis symptoms but do not address every underlying cause.

• Low back painRelated: These medicines are among the medication options considered for short-term symptom relief.

• Acetylsalicylic acidNarrower topic: Aspirin is an early member of this drug class, though its platelet effects are distinctive.

• BenzocaineCompared with: NSAIDs address inflammatory pain systemically, whereas benzocaine numbs a limited surface area.

• DiverticulitisRelated: Regular use has been linked to diverticulitis complications, making medication risk relevant.

• NaproxenNarrower topic: Naproxen belongs to this drug family.

• SalicinCompared with: Modern NSAIDs provide standardized effects unlike variable salicin-containing plant preparations.

• CortisoneCompared with: These drugs suppress inflammation through different mechanisms and generally do not suppress immunity in the same way.

• Immunosuppressive drugCompared with: These drugs reduce inflammation without generally suppressing the immune system as a whole.

• MetamizoleNarrower topic: This broader drug class includes several alternatives, while metamizole is classified differently in some pharmacological systems.

• TramadolCompared with: These drugs can treat some pain without tramadol’s opioid dependence and respiratory risks.

• LansoprazoleRelated: Lansoprazole may be prescribed to reduce the risk of ulcers in some people using these drugs.

• HydrocodoneCompared with: These medicines can relieve pain without opioid respiratory depression or dependence.

• PhenacetinNarrower topic: Phenacetin is not a typical member of this class, which includes several current analgesic alternatives.

• ToothacheRelated: These medicines can reduce dental pain while definitive care is arranged.

• HydromorphoneCompared with: These drugs can treat some pain without hydromorphone’s opioid-related respiratory risks.

• IndometacinNarrower topic: Indometacin belongs to this drug class, whose members commonly inhibit cyclooxygenase.

• PiroxicamNarrower topic: Piroxicam belongs to this broad drug family, whose shared effects include gastrointestinal and kidney risks.
