Description
Inflammation is mediated by prostaglandins
• The treatment of inflammation involves two
primary goals: First, the relief of symptoms and
the maintenance of function; and second, the
slowing or arrest of the tissue-damaging process.
• Salicylates and other similar agents share the
capacity to suppress the signs and symptoms of inflammation.
• They also exert antipyretic and analgesic effects.
