Arthritis Medication

Arthritis medication is a type of drug used to reduce pain and inflammation associated with the joint disease arthritis. These medications can be taken orally, injected, or applied topically. Examples of arthritis medications include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, corticosteroids, disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs, and biologic response modifiers. Arthritis medications are used to reduce joint stiffness, swelling, and tenderness and provide relief from pain and stiffness. Additionally, they can slow or stop the progress of joint damage caused by arthritis.
