Abstract:
Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), including aspirin, are among the most commonly used drugs worldwide. They account for a large number of adverse drug reactions (ADRs). The prevalence of NSAID-induced reactions is increasing. Distinguishing between a predicted side effect of a drug and a potentially life-threatening hypersensitivity reaction is essential to manage the affected patient. However, most clinicians find it difficult to diagnose these types of reactions despite published classification schemes. In this overview, we provide an in-depth review of NSAID classification, types of NSAID reactions, diagnostic tactics, and management strategies to provide the reader with a greater understanding of NSAID-induced reactions.

Pharmacovigilance
This process, termed pharmacovigilance, aims to detect, evaluate, and minimize harmful effects related to medication use. The data collection for pharmacovigilance depends on spontaneous reporting systems, where healthcare professionals or patients voluntarily report suspected ADRs.
