There are many anti-inflammatory medications available. They are called NSAIDs \u2013 non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. They are often used to treat episodes of pain. The most commonly used are:<\/p>\n
Aspirin<\/p>\n
Ibuprofen<\/p>\n
Naproxen<\/p>\n
Diclofenac<\/p>\n
They do have side \u2013effects and are unsuitable for some people. You need advice if you have asthma, or a history of stomach problems and other health problems.<\/p>\n
Side-effects from NSAIDs include stomach pains and nausea, headaches, tiredness and other more rare side effects.<\/p>\n
There is very little difference between the medications but people tend to vary in their response to anti-inflammatory medications. One person prefers aspirin, another naproxen. Pain relief begins with the first dose and increases to maximum within a week. The anti-inflammatory benefits may take up to 3 weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
