More detailsNonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are medications that block the formation of prostaglandins, the substances responsible for inflammation. They are effective medications, but they sometimes have a misleadingly reassuring reputation. In reality, they are not harmless drugs.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are a broad class of medications, including many compounds such as ibuprofen. They work by blocking the formation of prostaglandins, the substances responsible for inflammation. They have analgesic (pain-relieving), antipyretic (fever-reducing), and, at higher doses, anti-inflammatory properties.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are medications that reduce or eliminate symptoms associated with inflammation. Some are available over the counter. However, NSAIDs are not without risk and can cause side effects.
Anti-inflammatory drugs have analgesic, antipyretic, and anti-inflammatory properties. However, they are often accompanied by adverse effects, which are more numerous and more severe in older adults. Among these side effects, damage to the stomach lining—sometimes accompanied by bleeding—is one of the most feared. Anti-inflammatory drugs are therefore sometimes combined with gastric protectants or coated with a special film so that they become active only in the intestine. In addition, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs often reduce the effectiveness of other medications, such as antihypertensives.
Depending on the medication, NSAIDs are available:
When administered systemically (orally, rectally, or by injection), the indications for NSAIDs vary depending on the specific drug: fever, headaches, migraines, painful menstruation, pain following trauma (such as sprains or tendinitis), inflammatory rheumatic conditions, osteoarthritis, and more. Some NSAIDs may be prescribed for acute pain such as renal colic or gout. Because of the potential for serious side effects, they should not be used routinely for minor pain.
NSAIDs are available only by prescription, with the exception of a few medications containing ibuprofen and ketoprofen that are available over the counter to treat pain or colds accompanied by headaches and/or fever.
NSAIDs are also found in topical medications in the form of gels, creams, or patches. They are intended to treat pain from osteoarthritis or following trauma (bruises, sprains, etc.) to combat inflammation locally. Topical treatments containing ketoprofen carry an increased risk of photosensitivity.
NSAIDs are sometimes found in eye drops, particularly to prevent and treat complications following cataract surgery.
In addition, certain NSAIDs such as diclofenac, aceclofenac, and celecoxib have specific contraindications (history of myocardial infarction or stroke, arteritis, angina).
They may interact with many medications, including anticoagulants (blood thinners), lithium, methotrexate, diuretics, ACE inhibitors, and angiotensin II receptor blockers. Furthermore, due to the increased risk of bleeding, two NSAIDs (including aspirin at anti-inflammatory doses) should never be taken together.
While taking NSAIDs, the following symptoms may occur:
If you experience any of these side effects, stop taking the medication and consult your doctor.

NSAIDs may cause headaches or dizziness, digestive side effects of varying severity (nausea, stomach pain or heartburn, ulcers, or gastrointestinal bleeding), allergic reactions (skin rash, asthma), and kidney failure in rare cases.
To minimize the occurrence of side effects, particularly gastrointestinal ones, NSAIDs should be used at the lowest effective dose and for the shortest possible duration, especially in older adults. In fact, in people over 65, the side effects of NSAIDs are more common and often more severe.
In the event of unusual and severe fatigue, a sudden and significant decrease in urine output, a skin rash, an asthma attack, or severe heartburn, do not continue treatment without consulting a doctor; these symptoms may be signs of potentially serious side effects.
If the treatment does not provide relief:
If your doctor has prescribed an NSAID for a specific condition, do not use it later for self-medication. Do not give this medication to anyone else either.
Effective pain management also involves choosing a medication with a duration of action that suits your needs. Discover our selection of analgesic and anti-inflammatory treatments:
