Question 1

What does "NSAID" mean?

Accepted Answer

NSAIDs are everyday pain relievers you probably already know, like ibuprofen (Advil) and naproxen (Aleve). When your body is injured or inflamed, it produces chemicals called prostaglandins that cause pain and swelling. NSAIDs block the enzyme (COX) that makes prostaglandins, reducing pain, inflammation, and fever.
