  2. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonsteroidal_anti...

    There is some evidence suggesting that, for some people, use of NSAIDs (or other anti-inflammatories) may contribute to the initiation of chronic pain. [51] Side effects are dose-dependent, and in many cases severe enough to pose the risk of ulcer perforation, upper gastrointestinal bleeding, and death, limiting the use of NSAID therapy.

  3. Phenylbutazone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenylbutazone

    Phenylbutazone, often referred to as "bute", [1] is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) for the short-term treatment of pain and fever in animals.. In the United States and United Kingdom, it is no longer approved for human use (except in the United Kingdom for ankylosing spondylitis), as it can cause severe adverse effects such as suppression of white blood cell production and ...

  4. Paracetamol poisoning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paracetamol_poisoning

    In adults, a dose of 6 grams a day over the preceding 48 hours could potentially lead to toxicity, [20] while in children acute doses above 200 mg/kg could potentially cause toxicity. [24] Acute paracetamol overdose in children rarely causes illness or death, and it is very uncommon for children to have levels that require treatment, with ...

  5. NSAID hypersensitivity reactions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NSAID_hypersensitivity...

    The classification organizes the hypersensitivity reactions to NSAIDs into the following five categories: NSAIDs-exacerbated respiratory disease (NERD) is an acute (immediate to several hours) exacerbation of bronchoconstriction and other symptoms of asthma in individuals with a history of asthma and/or nasal congestion, rhinorrhea or other symptoms of rhinitis and sinusitis in individuals ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paracetamol

    Paracetamol, [a] or acetaminophen, [b] is a non-opioid analgesic and antipyretic agent used to treat fever and mild to moderate pain. [13] [14] [15] It is a widely available over-the-counter drug sold under various brand names, including Tylenol and Panadol.

  7. Drug-induced aseptic meningitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug-induced_aseptic...

    For instance, DIAM caused by OKT3 antibodies may be mediated by cytokine release rather than hypersensitivity reactions. [3] There is an association with certain underlying conditions such as Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), and other underlying conditions that were present in a small amount of patients included Sjögren syndrome ...

  8. Reye syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reye_syndrome

    Prevention is typically by avoiding the use of aspirin in children. [1] When aspirin was withdrawn for use in children in the US and UK in the 1980s, a decrease of more than 90% in rates of Reye syndrome was observed. [2] Early diagnosis of the syndrome improves outcomes. [1] Treatment is supportive; [1] mannitol may be used to help with the ...

  9. Analgesic nephropathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analgesic_nephropathy

    NSAIDs caused no adverse effects on renal function in healthy dogs subjected to anesthesia. [11] [12] [13] Most healthy kidneys contain enough physiologic reserve to compensate for this NSAID-induced decrease in blood flow. However, those subjected to additional injury from phenacetin or paracetamol may progress to analgesic nephropathy.
