I don't see the point of this page since there is a page on NSAIDs. Suggest incorporation into that page instead.JustAnotherKinase (talk) 11:53, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Antagonist? Surely you mean enzyme inhibitor?

I strongly feel that this is a miss-use of the word "antagonist". This has a very specific meaning in pharmacology and it pertains to a drug that binds to a receptor and blocks that action of the natural ligand (also referred to as the "agonist"). NSAIDs are not antagonists, but are enzyme inhibitors (they bind to and prevent the action of an enzyme, in this case they prevent the production of prostaglandins by COX1 or COX2 enzymes).JustAnotherKinase (talk) 11:53, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hormone

A hormone is a protein in the blood that acts as a messenger. I can't even begin to tell you what's wrong with this statement.JustAnotherKinase (talk) 11:53, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
