Cyclooxygenase (COX) Inhibitors and the Intestine [PDF]
Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2007 Abstract Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have long been used for the treatment of pain and inflammation because of their inhibitory effects on cyclooxygenase (COX). For almost as long as NSAIDs have been in use, multiple adverse effects have been noted.
