Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are medicines that are widely used to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and bring down a high temperature. They’re often used to relieve symptoms of: headaches. painful periods.
Detailed explanation-2: -Paracetamol (acetaminophen) is generally not considered an NSAID because it has only minor anti-inflammatory activity.
Detailed explanation-3: -Steroids decrease vasopermeability, redness, edema and pain. An added advantage: They keep leukocytes sequestered from the site of inflammation by blocking the lipoxygenase arm. Although NSAIDs are effective mediators of pain and edema, they are unable to sequester white blood cells as steroids do.
