Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs [1] [3] (NSAID) [1] are members of a therapeutic drug class which reduces pain, [4] decreases inflammation, decreases fever, [1] and prevents blood clots. Side effects depend on the specific drug, its dose and duration of use, but largely include an increased risk of gastrointestinal ulcers and bleeds ...
Nabumetone has little effect on renal prostaglandin secretion and less of an association with heart failure than other traditional drugs of the class. [9] Effects of nabumetone on blood pressure control in hypertensive patients on ACE inhibitors are also good, [clarification needed] equivalent to paracetamol. [10]
[94] [95] As with other NSAIDs, ibuprofen may be useful in the treatment of severe orthostatic hypotension (low blood pressure when standing up). [96] NSAIDs are of unclear utility in the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer's disease. [97] [98] Ibuprofen has been associated with a lower risk of Parkinson's disease and may delay or prevent it.
The importance of developing such drugs was increased when COX-2-specific NSAIDs rofecoxib (Vioxx) and lumiracoxib (Prexige) were removed from major pharmaceutical markets in the mid-2000s due to vascular safety concerns. In addition, traditional NSAIDs increase blood pressure and interfere with the actions of antihypertensive drugs.
Prostaglandin inhibitors are drugs that inhibit the synthesis of prostaglandin in human body. [1] There are various types of prostaglandins responsible for different physiological reactions such as maintaining the blood flow in stomach and kidney, regulating the contraction of involuntary muscles and blood vessels, and act as a mediator of inflammation and pain.
By inhibiting the effects of PDE5, tadalafil makes it easier for blood to flow "downstairs" and for you to get hard. This guide to PDE5 inhibitors has more information about how tadalafil ...
This story was reviewed by Mike Bohl, MD. In the ‘80s, researchers set out to test a medication called sildenafil citrate for treating high blood pressure and angina (chest pain) from heart disease.
For most people, recommendations are to reduce blood pressure to less than or equal to somewhere between 140/90 mmHg and 160/100 mmHg. [2] In general, for people with elevated blood pressure, attempting to achieve lower levels of blood pressure than the recommended 140/90 mmHg will create more harm than benefits, [3] in particular for older people.
