Anti-inflammatory and Analgesic

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or NSAIDs are medications used to treat both pain and inflammation.

When used in full doses on a regular basis, NSAIDs help block the actions of chemicals in the body that mediate the inflammation associated with many forms of arthritis. 

Painkillers are medicines that reduce or alleviate headaches, muscle pain, arthritis or many other ailments and pains. There are many different types of pain relievers and each has its advantages and risks.

Some types of pain respond better to certain medicines than others. Also, each person may have a slightly different response to a pain reliever.
