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.
