title: [Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents: a critical view].
abstract: The authors review the clinical pharmacology and untoward effects of nonsteroid antiinflammatory agents. Caution is needed when these agents are given to older patients, specially due to a higher incidence of gastrointestinal bleeding and aggravation of heart failure. A greater efficacy of these agents in acute rather than chronic inflammatory processes is recognized.
