Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) belong to the remedies with the largest global sales volume. They are broadly used for the treatment of a wide scale of nonspecific symptoms accompanying a number of diseases. Many of them also belong to OTC (over the counter) distributed drugs, thus, they are easily available for broad masses of world population. The aforementioned properties together with low production costs, high content per dose and relatively hígh proportion of non-metabolized drug in human excretes have made several NSAIDs water pollutants of the high importance. The most important drug of NSAID group on a global scale is the oldest industrially produced remedy aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid), which is substituted with ibuprofen in the recent time due to its lower side effects. In the Czech Republic, ibuprofen has the largest sales volume of all NSAIDs and is the second best-selling drug on the Czech market. Naproxen and ketoprofen are other widely used NSAIDs in human medicine together with halogenated compounds such as diclofenac and indomethacin.
