Effect of misoprostol on patients with aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease undergoing aspirin challenge and desensitization

Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is an anti-inflammatory compound that inhibits 5-lipoxygenase activity. Diminished PGE2 regulation in aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) leads to respiratory reactions on cyclooxygenase 1 inhibition. In vitro studies have found that exogenous PGE2 stabilizes inflammatory mediator release.
