What anti-inflammatory drugs are known to modern medicine?

Anti-inflammatory drugs are drugs that have the ability to weaken the development of the inflammatory process. The most active action is in this case hormones of the adrenal cortex, as well as their synthetic analogues, which have the name - glucocorticoids.

As a rule, these medications have some side effects, which often appear after the beginning of the use of medicines. As a rule, these anti-inflammatory drugs can cause metabolic disruptions, sodium and water removal disorders, increased blood pressure, and an increase in the quantitative volume of plasma, a decrease in the protective function of the body, and the development of duodenal ulcer and stomach ulcers.

When these drugs are used for a long time, the synthesis of natural hormones in the adrenal glands is significantly reduced. Therefore, the cessation of their use can lead to insufficient work of the adrenal cortex, which entails a violation of health.

In the role of drugs that remove inflammation, are also analgesic medications, the so-called non - narcotic analgesics (analgin, acetylsalicylic acid, ibuprofen and others). These anti-inflammatory drugs for children are allowed to use to lower the temperature. However, if you analyze their anti-inflammatory effect, it should be noted that they are significantly inferior to glucocorticoids in terms of activity. However, their side effect is less pronounced, and therefore their widespread use for the treatment of joints, muscles and many internal organs is known. It is also these drugs that are most easily tolerated by a child's body.

Some antibacterial action have astringents (among them dermatol, tannin, tanalbin and others). Anti-inflammatory drugs of this group are used as local agents, which are applied in cases of skin and mucous membrane damage.

The essence of their action lies in the fact that they create a film, together with protein substances, which are part of the tissues, designed to perform a protective function. It protects the mucous membranes and tissues from further irritation, which stimulates the slowing down of the inflammatory process.

Very often, when the development of inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract is diagnosed, especially in children, apply medicines enveloping effects, for example, rice decoction. These drugs do not have an action that should reduce the level of inflammation. They only reduce the degree of irritation of the mucosa. Also, medicines of this nature should be used in cases when you use drugs that have an increased irritant ability.

Anti-inflammatory drugs, as a rule, do not eliminate the cause of inflammation. As for chemotherapeutic drugs, among which antibiotics, sulfonamide preparations are isolated , they have an effect that is based on the suppression of the vital activity of certain bacteria and viruses. And this, in turn, becomes an obstacle for the further development of pathogenic processes.

There are many indications in which it is recommended to use anti-inflammatory drugs in gynecology. The thing is that the problems in this area often cause the development of pain syndrome. That is why very widely used drugs are non-steroidal nature, which have a strong analgesic effect. They improve blood circulation and reduce the degree of permeability of capillaries, therefore they have anti-inflammatory, analgesic and anti-aggregative effects.
