Abstract:
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely used for treatment of pain, fever and inflammatory diseases. However, along with a high rate of efficacy, NSAIDs have been associated with an increased risk of gastrointestinal and cardiovascular complications related to the inhibition of the enzymes cyclooxygenase 1 and 2. The review addresses contemporary mechanisms of NSAID's side-effects and analyzes clinical trials of the efficacy and tolerability of aceclofenac, which is the most frequently prescribed NSAID, as in its traditional release form (100 mg 2 times a day) as well as in the controlled-release (200 mg a day) form.
