What are NSAIDs?
Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) are medications which, as well as having pain-relieving (analgesic) effects, have the effect of reducing inflammation. The term "non-steroidal" is used to distinguish these drugs from steroids, which also have a similar anti-inflammatory action.
How do NSAIDs work?
NSAIDs work by blocking the production of chemicals in the body known as prostaglandins. This inhibits the chemicals that generate pain and inflammation. These anti-inflammatory drugs can be very effective when people have joint pain, muscle pain or sports injuries as they help limit the inflammation at the site of injury and speed up the healing and recovery process. They can be taken orally as tablets or capsules, but topical gels and creams offer a more direct route for the treatment of muscular aches and pains.
