Mechanism

Inhibit cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, reducing prostaglandin synthesis and inflammation.

Environmental footprint

Reduces protective stomach lining prostaglandins. Can raise blood pressure. Long-term use stresses kidney filtration.

What the evidence shows

Effective for pain and inflammation. GI bleeding risk increases with age and duration. Chronic use associated with kidney function decline and cardiovascular events in some populations.
