One NSAID in particular, indomethacin, can inhibit new collagen deposition, thus impairing the healing process for the infarcted region. Other NSAIDS should be used only in cases refractory to aspirin.
The preferred NSAID is ibuprofen because of rare side effects, better effect on coronary flow, and larger dose range. [15] Depending on severity, dosing is between 300 and 800 mg every 6–8 hours for days or weeks as needed. An alternative protocol is aspirin 800 mg every 6–8 hours. [14] Dose tapering of NSAIDs may be needed.

[ 12 ] [ 13 ] [ 14 ] Rofecoxib crossed the placenta and blood–brain barrier, [ 12 ] [ 13 ] [ 15 ] and took 1–3 hours to reach peak plasma concentration with an effective half-life (based on steady-state levels) around 17 hours.
The treatment in viral or idiopathic pericarditis is with aspirin, [11] or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs such as ibuprofen). [4] Colchicine may be added to the above as it decreases the risk of further episodes of pericarditis. [4] [23] The drug that helps treat the condition that has developed is aspirin. In this case, the ...
