Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
Class Summary
These agents have analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic activities. Their mechanism of action is not known, but they may inhibit cyclo-oxygenase activity and prostaglandin synthesis. Other mechanisms may include inhibition of leukotriene synthesis, lysosomal enzyme release, lipoxygenase activity, neutrophil aggregation, and various cell membrane functions.
Indomethacin (Indocin)
Potent inhibitor of cyclo-oxygenase, which may decrease the local production of arachidonic acid–derived chemotactic factors for eosinophils present in sebum.
Aspirin (Anacin, Ascriptin, Bayer Aspirin, Bayer Buffered Aspirin)
Treats mild to moderate pain. Inhibits prostaglandin synthesis, which prevents formation of platelet-aggregating thromboxane A2.
