Why is it not recommended to use NSAIDs in appendicitis and asthma exacerbation?
ANS)
Yes,it is correct that the NSAIDs are not recommended to use in appendicitis and asthma exacerbation.At the time when the NSAIDs or the aspirin obstruct the COX-1 enzyme,the formation of the thromboxane and some of the anti-inflammatory prostaglandins is reduced and in the individuals with the aspirin induced asthma,this might lead to excessive production of pro-inflammatory leukotrienes,that leads to serious exacerbations of asthma and appendicitis.
