Anti-inflammatory drug is applied to the medicine used to prevent or reduce pain and inflammation of the tissues.

There are two major types of anti-inflammatories: corticosteroids, whose active ingredient is cortisone or its derivatives, and the so-called “NSAIDs” (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs), among which are these fairly common active ingredients: ibuprofen, dexketoprofen or naproxen.

Within these anti-inflammatories we have Ibuprofen (as Motrin or Advil)

Ibuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), frequently used as an antipyretic, analgesic and anti-inflammatory. It is used for the symptomatic relief of fever, headache (headache), dental pain (toothache), muscle pain or myalgia, discomfort of menstruation (dysmenorrhea), neurological pain of mild or moderate and post-surgical pain. It is also used to treat inflammatory conditions, such as those that occur in arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), muscle swelling, sore throat, and gouty arthritis. It is sometimes used to treat acne due to its anti-inflammatory properties.

Administration in adults, orally, the most frequent dose is 600-1,200 mg divided into several doses, and it is not recommended to exceed 1,200 mg daily. The oral dose of children is 10 mg / kg / 6 h with meals. It should not be administered to patients who present duodenal ulcer, asthma, coagulation problems or in the last trimester of pregnancy.

Naproxen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug that is used in the treatment of mild to moderate pain, fever, inflammation and stiffness caused by conditions such as osteoarthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, tendonitis and bursitis.
