Over-The-Counter Medications Help To Relieve Your Symptoms
Anti-inflammatory medications reduce chemical signals that cause pain and inflammation in the body, specifically at the injured area. Drug stores provide a variety of anti-inflammatory medications that a patient can choose from. To make the best choice, he must understand the risks and benefits of taking each one.
Ibuprofen, or Advil, is a common medication used to treat inflammation. Patients taking ibuprofen stated that pain interfered less with daily activities than those receiving acetaminophen. Ibuprofen is an NSAID that shares the same side effects as naproxen and other NSAIDs. Aspirin is also considered one of the best OTC medications that a patient can take for pain relief. Specifically, the Journal of Neurology reports that aspirin is particularly effective in treating migraine headaches. In this study, aspirin was as effective as typical migraine medications and offered fewer side effects.
