What Are NSAIDS?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
6. Side Effects
One reason that NSAIDs are so commonly used is that they produce few side effects in most cases. That does not mean to say, however, that there are no side effects at all. As already mentioned, those that inhibit the COX-1 enzyme can result in a number of unwelcome symptoms of the digestive system.
Some patients might be given additional medication to help protect the stomach from its own corrosive juices. Other symptoms of NSAIDs include headaches, dizziness, and drowsiness. In rare cases, problems with certain organs can arise and the circulation can be affected. Some people might also have allergic reactions to the drug.
