NSAIDs and hypertension

Abstract

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are frequently used to alleviate pain of the patients suffering
from inflammatory conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other painful conditions. An
ample amount of studies put forth evidence that NSAIDs reduce the efficiency of antihypertensive drugs plus
aggravate pre-existing hypertension or make the individuals prone to develop high blood pressure through renal
dysfunction. This review therefore works as an for evidence the practitioners to keep in mind the interaction
between NSAIDs and hypertensive drugs. Also, this review suggests regular monitoring of blood pressure when
NSAIDs and antihypertensive drugs are used simultaneously
