Medical Terminology: N S A I D

Question

I looked up a translation of

.

"I am prone to having an anaphylactic reaction to NSAID drugs" I got

. Soy propenso a tener una reacción anafiláctica a AINEs

.

I have no reason to doubt this but would like to confirm that the usual acronym for the NSAID group is commonly translated as AINE

Also is Soy alérgico a la penicilina. ok?

Thanks

Answer 1

Good morning.

I went to Wikl and put in N S A I D (Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) and changed the language to Spanish:

Los antiinflamatorios no esteroideos (abreviado AINE) son un grupo variado y químicamente heterogéneos de fármacos principalmente antiinflamatorios, analgésicos y antipiréticos, por lo que reducen los síntomas de la inflamación, el dolor y la fiebre respectivamente.

Yes, I would say "Soy alérgica a penicilina." - --Mariana--, Aug 20, 2011

Answer 2

Hey, I'm allergic to NSAIDS, too.

It's an awful reaction. My face swells, eyes swell up so bad they swell shut, breathing becomes difficult and I sneeze constantly for like 2 hours. And the reaction seems to worsen each time I have it (it took me awhile to figure out that I was allergic to a whole class of medicines).

But then that's what anaphylactic reaction means, right?

It's ashame, too, as I now also have rheumatoid arthritis and can take only Tylenol, which kills the liver, can only be taken two at a time every 4 hours, and is no longer really effective anyways.

What I wouldn't give to be able to take some Advil or Motrin! :(

Awwww...that's awful! - --Mariana--, Aug 20, 2011

Answer 3

Here's the WIKI link link text

The weird thing is the reference to the fact that there is a discernible increase in cases of anaphylactic shock but I cannot find any theory as to WHY that might be. People prone to it often cannot take penicillin either.
