NONSTEROIDAL ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DRUGS
Non-steroidal
Anti-inflammatory Drugs are medicines that relieve pain, swelling,
stiffness, and inflammation.
Purpose
Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) are prescribed for a
variety of painful conditions, including Arthritis, Bursitis,
Tendinitis, Gout, menstrual cramps, sprains, strains, and other
injuries.
Description
Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs relieve pain, stiffness,
swelling, and inflammation, but they do not cure the diseases or
injuries responsible for these problems. Some non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs can be bought over the counter; others are
available only with a prescription from a physician or dentist.
