2. NSAIDs
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are members of a drug class that reduces pain,
decreases fever, prevents blood clots, and in higher doses, decreases inflammation.
Example- Aspirin, paracetamol, ibuprofen, ketoprofen, diclofenac etc.
Classification of NSAIDs:
A. Nonselective COX
inhibitors (traditional
NSAIDs)
1. Salicylates: Aspirin.
2. Propionic acid
derivatives: Ibuprofen,
Naproxen, Ketoprofen,
Flurbiprofen.
3. Fenamate: Mephenamic
acid.
4. Enolic acid derivatives:
Piroxicam, Tenoxicam.
5. Acetic acid derivatives:
Ketorolac, Indomethacin,
Nabumetone
6. Pyrazolone derivatives:
Phenylbutazone,
Oxyphenbutazone.
B. Preferential
COX-2 inhibitors
Nimesulide,
Diclofenac,
Aceclofenac,
Meloxicam,
Etodolac.
C. Selective COX-2
inhibitors
Celecoxib,
Etoricoxib,
Parecoxib
D. Analgesic-antipyretics
with poor
antiinflammatory action
1. Paraaminophenol
derivative: Paracetamol
(Acetaminophen).
2. Pyrazolone derivatives:
Metamizol (Dipyrone),
Propiphenazone.
3. Benzoxazocine
derivative: Nefopam.
