What are the anti-inflammatory agents?

1. Glucocorticoids


2. Non-steroidal anti inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)

What are three major actions of NSAIDs?

1. Anti-inflammatory action


2. Analgesic effect


3. Antipyretic effect

Anti-inflammatory action

1. Vasodilator prostaglandin (PGE2) decrease


2. Resulting to less oedema

Analgesic effect

1. Decreased prostaglandin generation


2. Less sensation of nociceptive nerve endings to inflammatory mediators.

Antipyretic effect

1. Decreased mediator prostaglanding that is responsible for elevating the hypothalamic set-point of temperature control.
