NSAIDs
NSAIDs are effective pain killers by negating the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals in the body that cause pain and inflammation. NSAIDs are used to treat a great variety of conditions ranging from Rheumatoid arthritis and tendonitis to tooth pain and menstrual cramps. There are both prescription NSAIDs as well as Over-the-counter NSAIDs. Over-the-counter NSAIDs include common medicines including ibuprofen and aspirin, while the prescription NSAIDs include celecoxib, as well as an additional long list of other medicines.

NSAIDs may be more effective when taken consistently, even in times when pain is absent. This aids in increasing the body’s anti-inflammatory blood level which allows for better healing results as it concerns the area in question. The effectiveness of NSAIDs is distinctly less if the medicine is taken only at times when pain is experienced however, the FDA recommends that the lowest effective dose be used only for as long as is necessary.
