What anti-inflammatory should I take for my osteoarthritis? with Ric Day

The first line pain relieving medication recommended in most therapeutic guidelines for osteoarthritis is the anti-inflammatory group of medications. They consistently demonstrate modest effects for relieving pain and improving function, pretty much irrespective of the site of osteoarthritis whether that be the hand, knee or hip. There is a huge variety of anti-inflammatories available, different routes of administration including oral and topical, different dosage strengths along with other elements that influence patient preference.

On this episode we discuss: what are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and how do they work, what are the side effects of taking NSAIDs and how often do these occur, how efficacious are NSAIDs for pain relief and much more
