Previous Episode: Analgesia, Opioids and the WHO Pain Ladder

Next Episode: Special Episode - Antivirals in COVID19

In this episode we discuss the Arachidonic Acid pathway, and how steroids and more specifically non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) work to limit inflammation and pain.
We also discuss the special effects of aspirin as an anti-platelet agent, and the only NSAID that decreases cardiovascular risk rather than increasing.
