How do the anti-inflammatory suppress the function of immune system?
Anti-inflammatory drugs such as NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) inhibit the enzyme cyclo-oxygenase which is involved in the production of chemicals in your body such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes. These chemicals are involved in the inflammatory response by making blood vessels around an infection more permeable so other immune system components (such as white blood cells) are able to move from your circulation into the active site of tissue infection. By inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins and leukotrienes, the inflammatory response is severely reduced and thus suppresses the immune response at the site of infection.

While it can impact the immune system's response to cancer, it does not broadly suppress immune function like typical immunosuppressive drugs. However, some patients may experience side effects that could affect immune responses indirectly.
