Overview
The mainstay of treatment for familial adenomatous polyposis is surgery. However, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as sulindac and celecoxib are recommended to decrease the size and number of colon polyps.

- Pharmacologic medical therapies for familial adenomatous polyposis include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).[1][2]
