  ABSTRACT: Because of their anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic properties non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are among the most frequently prescribed throughout all medical fields. Both gastrointestinal as well as cerebro- and cardiovascular risk needs to be considered. Especially before starting a long-term medical treatment with NSAIDs the individual gastrointestinal and cardiovascular risk of the patient has to be assessed carefully.
