Aspirin or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and colchicine are first-line treatments for acute and recurrent pericarditis. Drugs blocking the NACHT, leucine-rich repeat, and pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome/interleukin-1β (IL-1β) axis are beneficial in patients with multiple recurrences.
