Anti-inflammatory medicines

These can reduce inflammation as well as pain and so lessen the damage done to joints. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) - these are some of the most commonly prescribed arthritis medicines. They usually need to be taken over a long period to have any effect, but continued use can also cause stomach problems. Common NSAIDs include ibuprofen, indomethacin, naproxen, fenbufen, piroxicam and diclofenac. Aspirin is also a mild type of NSAID but may not be very effective for arthritis pain.

All the NSAID drugs have a risk of causing gastrointestinal bleeding, especially in the elderly where their use is limited as a result. There are 2 NSAIDS known as Cox-2 inhibitors, called celecoxib and etoricoxib. These have a more selective effect and so have a lower risk of gastrointestinal side-effects and are used in osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis.
