a, b, f. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are primarily used as an analgesic (pain control), anti-inflammatory (due to inhibition of COX-2), and antipyretic (reducing fever due to suppression of prostaglandin) NSAIDs have antiplatelet effects due to inhibition of thromboxane A2 but they do not covalently bind to the cyclooxygenase enzymes and do not irreversibly inhibit platelet function as aspirin does.
