Anti-inflammatory Drugs; Effective for a Wide Variety of Orthopedic Conditions

 

Anti-inflammatory Drugs

Anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely used to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and bring down a high temperature. Anti-inflammatory drugs are often used to relieve symptoms of arthritis, colds and flu, sprains and strains, painful periods, headaches, and other causes of long-term pain. Be it sprains, rheumatic arthritis, headaches, and migraines or even menstrual pain, anti- inflammatory drugs can provide faster relief as compared with other drugs. NSAIDs help lower the levels of prostaglandins, reducing pain and inflammation.

Aspirin, dexibuprofen, naproxen, sulindac, fenoprofen, dexketoprofen, tenoxicam, Meloxicam, ibuprofen, etodolac, acemetacin, etoricoxib, celecoxib, mefenamic acid, and acelofenac are some anti-inflammatory drugs available in the market. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and immune selective anti-inflammatory derivatives are the two major categories of the anti-inflammatory drugs. Moreover, anti-inflammatory drugs are available both as a prescription medication and over-the-counter (OTC). Many patients find their best response from over-the-counter anti-inflammatory drugs.

Furthermore, there have been no studies shown that new anti-inflammatory drugs, prescription anti-inflammatory drugs, or expensive anti-inflammatory drugs treat pain or inflammation better than traditional anti-inflammatory drugs. Most of the research evaluating the effects of anti-inflammatory drugs has been done using over-the-counter ibuprofen. Anti-inflammatory drugs have potential side effects, such as kidney problems, bleeding risk, hypertension/stroke, stomach upset/ulcers, etc., even though many of these drugs can be obtained over-the-counter. For that reason, anti-inflammatory drugs should be used with caution.

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are extensively used for musculoskeletal conditions. Anti-inflammatory drugs can be effective for a wide variety of orthopedic conditions from tendinitis, arthritis, or other inflammatory conditions. As there are possible side effects of various anti-inflammatory drugs, the patient should discuss with the doctor before taking these drugs for more than a short period of time. With the rising incidence of respiratory diseases and autoimmune conditions, the demand for anti-inflammatory drugs is also increasing rapidly. For instance, in January 2021, The British government announced that two arthritis drugs, including one developed in Japan, are effective in treating patients with COVID-19. The anti-inflammatory drug dexamethasone has already been used to treat patients with COVID-19.
