These agents can have significant differences in the mechanism of action degree of prostaglandin mediated and nonprostaglandin mediated actions possible toxicities pharmacokinetics pharmacodynamics and metabolism. Propionic acid acetic acid derivatives etc. Non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs nsaids are commonly used to manage the pain and inflammation associated with arthritis and other musculoskeletal disorders.
