When acute inflammation becomes over-active it can be fatal. A classic example is septic shock caused by bacterial LPS. In most cases though acute inflammation acts to protect and repair the damage to the tissue by resolving by regeneration in association with the host defence mechanisms. To assist in resolving and controlling inflammation therapeutic measures have been developed, with some being very recognisable therapies, for example the Non-Steriodal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs e.g. Aspirin and Ibuprofen N.B. NOT paracetomal).
