Sports medicine physicians should limit non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use for athletic injuries. Evidence suggests NSAIDs may negatively impact long-term healing, especially in muscle, bone, and tendon injuries.
Area of Science:
- Sports Medicine
- Pharmacology
Context:
- Sports medicine physicians frequently prescribe NSAIDs for athletic injuries.
- There is limited high-quality evidence supporting NSAID use in sports injuries.
- Adverse effects and potential long-term healing consequences of NSAIDs are clinically relevant.
Purpose:
- To provide practical management guidelines for NSAID use in sports-related injuries.
- To inform sports physicians about the risks associated with NSAID treatment.
- To guide decision-making regarding NSAID prescription for athletes.
Summary:
- This review advises against NSAID use for muscle injuries, bone fractures, stress fractures, and tendinopathies.
- If NSAIDs are used, treatment duration should be minimized.
- Guidelines consider injury type, dysfunction level, and pain when managing NSAID therapy.
Impact:
- Aims to optimize treatment strategies for sports injuries.
- Promotes evidence-based prescribing of NSAIDs in sports medicine.
- Highlights the importance of considering long-term healing effects over short-term symptom relief.

Organic nitrates, such as nitroglycerin, play a pivotal role. Once metabolized, they liberate nitric oxide, a molecular marvel. Nitric oxide triggers guanylyl cyclase and augments cGMP production. This biochemical cascade orchestrates the relaxation of vascular smooth muscles, ushering in vasodilation and enhancing coronary blood flow. Administered...
