NSAIDs are a class of drugs that has analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory properties. They work by inhibiting the enzyme Cyclooxygenase, which is responsible for catalyzing the formation of prostaglandins and thromboxane from arachidonic acid. Prostaglandins have a wide range of functions within the body including the regulation of inflammation. Therefore, by stopping the synthesis of prostaglandins, an overall anti-inflammatory effect occurs
COX has two main isoenzymes, COX-1 and COX-2. COX-1 has a role in many physiological processes, one of which is protecting the stomach mucosa from the acidic environment. COX-2, on the other hand, mainly functions in inflammation. Therefore, the wanted effects of NSAIDs are actually from inhibiting COX-2 specifically. Most NSAIDs are non-selective COX inhibitors, meaning that they inhibit both COX 1 and 2. As a result, prostaglandin levels in the stomach can be reduced and the risk of stomach or duodenum ulceration increases. Selective COX-2 inhibitors were developed to avoid this problem, but in practice they are usually used for different conditions and they present with their own set of adverse effects which we won’t delve into today.

Happy Studying!
First time I watched this I thought it was the stupidest thing ever, now it's the only thing getting me through Pharmacology exams! Please make more, these are amazing!
one day before my med school finals, and this is what stuck those nsaids into my head..............i guess you learn something new everyday
why did u stop making videos???? they are so nice.... plz for god's sake make more of them.. u hv no idea how many students like me can be saved.. plzzzzzzzzz
I'll be sure to keep this channel in mind when I get further in my studies. For now, I don't need to know any names, just the functions. Thanks.
Excellent.. thanks for that story.. Definitely needs one good listen to remember for long..
THAT is PURE GENIUS. JUST by watching this video I get the information I need and it sticks to my brain!!! OMg this is super GENIUS. Hands down the best educational video on NSAID!
u should make more videos! they are helpful
Just gotta thank you for this. It's quite helpful and it sticks!
+ingnir You're welcome =)
Simply AWESOME! GREAT Intro, story and review!
I didn't remember the story but i did remember the picture all the drug names. And the doughnut hole can symbolise indomethacin being used to treat Patent DA. :)
This was super helpful!! Great approach to learning drugs! Will be subscribing and watching more!
Thanks!
Need more of these
Love what you're doing with the Visual Mnemonic learning! Very similar to what we do at Picmonic for medical and nursing students. Reach out if you'd be interested in collaborating :)
that will be awesome. I am part of picmonic community and I think it will be great to combine both and make a little longer videos with more medical info.
wooooooooow amazing explanation < wishin' our prof can make the class joyful as much as u , thank you
Thank you a million!
Wow..amazing...a very creative way to make us remember the drug names...now I will just remember the picture, and link them with the drug names..thanks alot...gave me a wonderful idea to remember any difficult thing, just by visualisation
If you are liking this for Pharm, check out Picmonic for everything else in medicine :)
Many thanks , it is so helpful 🔝👍🏻
I laughed too hard now my headache and toothache is worse. Thanks.
Helps a lot
Keep them coming!
Thank you very helpful please make more videos on immunosuppresants and stimulants
I love it!
It was more difficult to understand the 'story' than the pharmacology of NSAIDs.
+RUS Thanks for the feedback. Yup, we're working on keeping our video 'stories' to a minimum with our new videos. Please take a look and see how you like them.
no @RUS u just hate cartoons
Yep I agree, the story doesn't get to the point fast enough; however, I found it helpful if you already knew most of the basic concepts.
great videos ... thanks a lot
My professor says acetaminophen blocks COX-3 which has been newly discovered, this video is great anyway!
Amazing!
Make more please :)
very cool stuff :)
This was good I'm a visual person that sucks with remembering spelling thxxxxx ^_^
I love this video, I feel 🤯
Helpful
Please make a video on antibiotics.
Rip Meloxicam and Nabumetone. You will be missed
nice......
Sooooo useful
Make for respiratory system too
Good video…… thank you
Pls make more videos
this is a good way to memorize the names, but it lacks LOTS of essential details.
+Nick Steele Hi Nick. Thanks for the feedback, this is very true. All our new videos will focus mostly on the names of drugs rather than the pharmacology. The videos are to be used as a supplemental study aid to a textbook.
Can you make more???? Pleaseeeee
i like it but their is a problem in voice
Very cool video please make more if you can they're really helpful.
How about back there next to "sell e cock xib" you can add two more roosters that selectively inhibit COX2 Valdecoxib "valdemort cock xib" that has no nose and so cannot eat; and Etoricoxib "Eater i cock xib" the other rooster that can eat.
I'm just here for the COX.
wtf i thought my mind was gonna *blow* on that story
David Dobrick what are you doing here 😂
We want more
this is very confusing! :(
Hi Miriam, thank you for your comment. We are currently working on a way to make the video more clear, and will be sending out a new version in the next few months. Basically, the concept of the video is for one purpose.. to have a way to remember the drug names. People who study medicine/pharmacy/nursing etc. find it hard to remember drug names, and this gives a fun way to remember them. But, like you said, the video is a little confusing at getting that point across. =) thanks again for your comment! We'll hopefully be able to make it less confusing in the next video.
Cheers, VLS
I study nursing, I think that associating the name making a pyramid or maps can help me better, maybe can help some other people to remember that way too. thanks for clarifying that :)
Mechanism?
it diffucult to understand the story...
very confusing indeed. I do have to say that you've probably put in a lot of thought into coming up with the story to fit your visual mnemonic but it really is difficult to follow.
