00:00 So let's wrap up this video series on NSAIDs. 00:03 Remember when we use that term, we're talking about over the counter medications and prescription NSAIDs. 00:09 So, non-steroidal anti-inflammatories block the cyclooxygenase or Cox enzymes. 00:17 Now we need Cox enzymes that are required in our bodies to make prostaglandin and thromboxane. 00:23 Cox inhibitors include aspirin and other related drugs so if your patient is allergic to aspirin, remember, they're gonna be allergic to multiple other NSAIDs. 00:35 The 3 main therapeutic uses of NSAIDs are PIF. Pain, inflammation, and fever. 00:43 So we use these to reduce pain, inflammation, and fever. 00:48 Now, Cox-1 inhibitors can cause stomach upset and even worse, intestinal bleeding and ulcers. 00:54 Thank you for watching our video today.
