Description
The mechanism of action of various types of drugs for treating
inflammation and arthritis is reviewed. Three classes of agents,
the steroidal, the acidic non-steroidal and the basic therapy
drugs, are discussed. The first two types of drugs act rapidly on
the symptoms of inflammation, interfering at various points in the
inflammatory response. The non-steroidal agents are especially
linked to a mechanism involving, at least in part, the
prostaglandins. Piroxicam, a potent, structurally unique member of
the non-steroidal class, is discussed in some detail. The basic
therapy drugs act slowly, generally exhibit more severe side
effects and probably affect some immunological aspects of
rheumatoid arthritis. The precise mechanisms of action of this
latter class of structurally diverse drugs is generally poorly
understood at this time.
