Abstract

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the most commonly used drugs worldwide with more than 50 different agents on the market. They are used routinely for minor aches and pains, fever, and as anti-inflammatory drugs. More recently, aspirin has also been used as a chemopreventative agent in patients with cardiovascular disease as secondary prevention against stroke and myocardial infarction, and as a primary preventative agent in individuals at risk of developing colorectal cancer
