Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Many authors agree that the NSAIDs are the most useful drug group for the treatment of dental pain.Similar to aspirin,NSAIDs inhibit the enzyme COX (prostaglandin synthase),resulting in a reduction in the formation of prostaglandin precursors and thromboxanes from arachidonic acid.All of the currently available NSAIDs inhibit both COX I and COX II.COX I is a widely distributed constitutive enzyme responsible for all the adverse reactions of the NSAIDs such as stomach problems,reduced renal function,fluid retention,and reduced platelet adhesiveness.COX II is an inducible enzyme that is synthesized only when inflammation occurs.
