Abstract
NONSTEROIDAL anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are effective for the management of inflammatory and arthritic conditions and have been one of the most widely used classes of drugs worldwide.1-5 In vivo investigations have shown a beneficial effect of other NSAIDs on platelet functions,6 suggesting that these agents may prevent the thrombotic complications of cardiovascular diseases, such as myocardial infarction (MI).This publication has 19 references indexed in Scilit:
