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.

Question 2

What do the medical abbreviations mean?

Accepted Answer

**NSAID** stands for Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug: a pain reliever that also reduces inflammation (like ibuprofen). **COX-2** stands for Cyclooxygenase-2: an enzyme that causes pain and inflammation. COX-2 inhibitors block it with less stomach irritation.
