Metabolites
editpropyphenazone is NOT a metabolite of phenacetine!
- Exactly. Paracetamol is, propyphenazone not. I thus change the sentence.--84.163.119.98 01:40, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
Phenacetin an NSAID?
editPhenacetin was not the first NSAID, because phenacetin is not an NSAID at all. It is an antipyretic analgesic, much like paracetamol/acetaminophen. NSAIDs are Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs, thus they must have a primar antiinflammatory effect. Phenacetine, paracetamol and phenazone derivatives don't, although they are frequently incorrectly merged together with NSAIDs; these are antipyretic analgesics. The first NSAID used was sodium salicylate, followed by Aspirin.--84.163.119.98 01:46, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
