MATER...

NSAIDs are nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, thus, they will provide analgesic,antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, antiplatelet effects. Severe poisoning and death because of acuteintoxication can occur by ingestions of more than 400 mg/kg. This cross-sectional retrospectivestudy was carried out in on all patients referred to Loghman Hakim Hospital from 2011 to 2016.Grou...
