For the relief of pain and inflammation, some patients may take the analgesics without consulting the family physician as they can procure the same easily, not realizing that there may be adverse effects associated with regular self-medication of NSAIDs. The NSAIDs have a risk of upper gastrointestinal bleeding or perforation, which may vary between individual NSAIDs at the doses commonly used by the patients.
