Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) inhibit the synthesis of prostaglandins, which are responsible for causing pain, inflammation, and fever. By inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis, NSAIDs reduce inflammation and alleviate symptoms. NSAIDs do not increase the flow of serous exudate, reduce the production of leukotrienes, or increase the production of histamine.
