Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) block the formation of prostaglandins, the substances responsible for inflammation. They are effective drugs, but they sometimes have a deceptively reassuring image. In reality, they are not harmless drugs.
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are a broad class of medicines, including many molecules such as ibuprofen. They act by blocking the formation of prostaglandins, the substances responsible for inflammation. They have analgesic (pain-relieving), antipyretic (fever-relieving) and, in higher doses, anti-inflammatory properties.
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) reduce or eliminate symptoms associated with inflammation. Some are available without prescription. NSAIDs are not without risk, however, and may have side effects.
Anti-inflammatories have pain-relieving, anti-pyretic and anti-inflammatory properties. However, they are often accompanied by adverse effects, which are more numerous and more serious in the elderly. Among these side effects, damage to the gastric mucosa, sometimes accompanied by bleeding, is one of the most feared. Anti-inflammatory drugs are therefore sometimes combined with gastric protectors or coated with a special film so that they are only active in the intestine. What's more, non-steroidal anti-inflammatories often weaken the action of other drugs, such as anti-hypertensives.
Depending on the drug, NSAIDs are available :

Taken systemically (orally, rectally or by injection), the indications for NSAIDs vary from molecule to molecule: fever, headaches, migraine, painful menstruation, pain following trauma (e.g. sprains, tendonitis), inflammatory rheumatism, osteoarthritis... Some NSAIDs may be prescribed for acute pain, such as renal colic or gout. However, because of the possibility of serious side effects, they should not be routinely used in the case of trivial pain.
NSAIDs can only be obtained on prescription, with the exception of a few ibuprofen- and ketoprofen-containing products available over the counter to treat pain or colds with headache and/or fever.
NSAIDs are also present in topical medicines in the form of gels, creams or plasters. They are used to treat pain caused by osteoarthritis, or after trauma (contusions, sprains, etc.) to fight inflammation locally. Local treatments containing ketoprofen run an increased risk of photosensitization.
NSAIDs are sometimes present in eye drops, notably to prevent and treat complications following cataract surgery.
In addition, certain NSAIDs such as diclofenac, aceclofenac and celecoxib have specific contraindications (history of myocardial infarction or stroke, arteritis, angina pectoris).
They can interact with many drugs, including anticoagulants (blood thinners), lithium, methotrexate, diuretics, ACE inhibitors and angiotensin II inhibitors. In addition, because of the increased risk of bleeding, never combine two NSAIDs (including aspirin in anti-inflammatory doses).
While taking NSAIDs, the following symptoms may occur:
These side effects should prompt you to stop taking your medication and consult your doctor.
NSAIDs can cause headaches or dizziness, digestive side effects of varying severity (nausea, stomach pain or heartburn, ulcers or bleeding in the digestive tract), allergic reactions (skin rash, asthma) and, in rare circumstances, kidney failure.
To limit the occurrence of adverse effects, particularly digestive ones, NSAIDs should be used at the minimum effective dose and for the shortest possible duration, especially in the elderly. Indeed, in people over 65, NSAID side effects are more frequent and often more severe.
If you experience unusual, intense fatigue, a sudden, sharp drop in urine output, a skin rash, an asthma attack or severe heartburn, you should not continue treatment without medical advice, as these may be signs of potentially serious side effects.
If treatment does not bring relief :
If your doctor has prescribed an NSAID for a specific condition, do not self-medicate with it afterwards. Nor should you give it to anyone else.
Pain management also involves choosing a drug whose duration of action is adapted to your needs. Discover our selection of analgesics and anti-inflammatories:
