ABSTRACT
The goal of this chapter is to help clinicians select appropriate nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for patients with specific risk factors by:
Providing an overview of these agents Increasing the understanding of NSAID pharmacology Increasing the awareness of characteristics of
NSAIDs that make individual NSAIDs better or worse choices in specific patients
This information is presented in the hope and belief that selection of the most appropriate pharmacologic agent will improve patient outcomes by decreasing side effects and improving compliance and tolerability.
