这篇文章是对非甾体抗炎药及其缩写NSAIDs的历史调查。药物名称和类别在日常实践中往往被视为其本身存在的自然类别。本文的主要论点是，NSAID一词提醒人们，药物名称和类别是由特定的人，为特定的目的，通过特定的历史过程创造的复杂的文化和社会产品，这与今天的使用有关。这篇文章定位了非甾体类这个词在20世纪60年代初的首次出现，当时由于皮质类固醇的引入而引起的医源性悲剧已经变得明显，并且需要将这些药物和新兴的抗炎替代品明确区分开来。文章接着展示了这个短语和首字母缩略词是如何第一次出现在迈克尔W。怀特豪斯，在他们被更广泛的社区所接受，并转化为独立于他们第一次出现的背景的概念之前。
This article is an historical investigation of the term non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and its acronym NSAIDs. Drug names and categories tend to be taken at face value in everyday practice, as natural categories existing in their own right. The main argument of this article is that the term NSAID is a reminder that drug names and categories are complex cultural and social products that have been created by specific people, for specific purposes, through specific historical processes, and that this is relevant for their use today. The article locates the first appearances of the phrase non-steroidal at the entry to the 1960s, when the iatrogenic tragedies that followed from the introduction of corticosteroids had become apparent, and where a clear separation between these drugs and emerging anti-inflammatory alternatives was needed. The article then shows how both the phrase and the acronym appeared for the first time out of specific textual contexts in publications by Michael W. Whitehouse, before they were taken up by a wider community and transformed into concepts independent on the context of their first appearances.
