Episode 100 - Non-steroidal anti-inflammatories with Dr James Hunt

<p>Dr James Hunt returns to chat about non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for the last episode in the “Pain Medications” series. NSAIDs often get bad press so we asked James to come and clarify some of the facts from the misinformation. He and Hannah explain what NSAIDs are and how they work, adverse events and how to report them and ways to use these drugs as safely as possible.</p><p><strong>References</strong></p><p>Vitis Dr Hunt’s <strong>Pet Pain Relief</strong> pain management clinic <a href="http://petpainrelief.co.uk">here </a></p><p>Dr Hunt’s article <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1090023315003160">An analysis of the relative frequencies of reported adverse events associated with NSAID administration in dogs and cats in the United Kingdom</a></p><p>and the article Hannah mentioned is <a href="https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7995375/">here</a></p><p><strong>Guest bio:</strong></p><p>Dr James Hunt qualified in 1998 from RVC with a strong interest in pain management and worked in mixed practice for six years while completing the RCVS Certificate in Veterinary Anaesthesia.
