The meta-analysis you provided actually references studies as far back as the 1980’s…

That being said, I do agree with you. NSAIDs can be used in moderation. Though, moderation tends to be a foreign concept to many athletes. Is moderation taking just one ibuprofen every day? Or does moderation mean occasional use with no regard to dosage? My point is that athletes should not be abusing drugs.

Thanks for contributing to the discussion.

The current consensus is that short term use of NSAIDs does not interfere with soft-tissue healing, or muscle growth and development. See these studies: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22744434 and http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23013520.

As with most medications, they are a tool to be used in moderation.
