Description
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs, are among the most widely used drugs worldwide, available in both prescription and over-the-counter forms, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, and others. Most NSAIDs, with the exception of aspirin, work by inhibiting the activity of a family of enzymes called cyclooxygenases, which drive inflammatory processes. But because these inflammatory processes can be beneficial in some contexts and because the drugs often elicit off-target effects, there are some concerns about their use. In this Aliquot, I describe current recommendations and concerns surrounding NSAID use. 00:00:00 - Introduction 00:02:58 - Daily aspirin use and cardiovascular disease risk (clip from Q&A #9) 00:07:02 - The pros and cons of low-dose aspirin (clip from Q&A #30) 00:11:43 - Aspirin use and metastatic cancer risk 00:13:46 - Aspirin vs other NSAIDs 00:15:20 - Effects of ibuprofen on the kidneys, stomach, and muscles (clip from Q&A #14) 00:18:52 - NSAIDs, heart attack, and stroke 00:20:04 - Alternatives to NSAIDs Get more Aliquots!
