NSAIDs - Dosage and Cost

NSAIDs is an acronym for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. NSAID medications work by blocking the production of body chemicals called cyclooxygenase enzymes that cause inflammation. By blocking these enzymes, NSAIDS interfere with the synthesis of prostaglandins that cause inflammation. Because NSAID medications can reduce inflammation, they are sometimes referred to anti-inflammatory medications.
