Pain and inflammation are issues that bring most people to the healthcare center. From a bad headache to chronic back pain, to arthritis, what we are looking for is effective relief. We see pain killers and anti-inflammatory drugs as very important in the management of pain and in the reduction of inflammation which in turn improves mobility.

At Healthmedsrx we have a large selection of pain relief drugs which include NSAIDs, paracetamol based analgesics, nerve pain meds, muscle relaxers, and powerful prescription painkillers. We have what you need from a mild headache to post surgical pain and we do it safely and affordably.

What Are Painkillers & Anti-Inflammatory Drugs?

Pain medications (analgesics) are what we use to suppress or reduce pain signals to the brain. They may not get at the root cause of the pain but they do very well in pain relief. As for anti-inflammatory drugs they do more than just pain relief they also reduce inflammation which is a large found in joint and muscle pain.

There are different types:

NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs): For example Aspirin and ibuprofen which are BRUFEN and COMBIFLAM reduce pain and inflammation.

Paracetamol-based analgesics: Like Aspirin 500 and Calpol these are best for mild to moderate pain.

Gabapentinoids: Like GABATOP and PREGALIS which are used for nerve related pain.

Steroidal anti-inflammatories & DMARDs: Like SAAZ 500 which are used in long term conditions like rheumatoid arthritis.

Proper dose is what is required. We see issues with misuse or overuse which may cause side effects like liver damage, gastrointestinal bleeding, or dependency which is more of an issue with the stronger painkillers.

Common Conditions Treated by Painkillers

Headaches & Migraines: Headaches are a primary cause of discomfort. For quick relief PARACIP 500 and CALPOL 500 are used by many. These paracetamol based pain relievers are easy on the stomach also are suitable for all age groups.

Muscle & Joint Pain: Conditions that present with muscle sprains, joint inflammation, or sports injuries do well to NSAIDs like BRUFEN 400/600 and DICLO KING INJ. They reduce swelling and improve range of motion.

Neuropathic Pain: Nerve pain that is a result of diabetes, shingles, or spinal injuries does best with gabapentinoids. GABATOP (100 800 mg) and PREGALIS 300 we use for such chronic pain which in turn calms overactive nerves.

Chronic Inflammation & Arthritis: In many cases of inflammatory disorders which include rheumatoid arthritis we see the need for disease modifying treatments. SAAZ 500 (Sulfasalazine)’s action is to reduce immune system activity which in turn prevents joint damage and reduces inflammation.

Post-Surgical Pain: Post operative and injury related acute pain at times requires strong analgesics like KETOROL 10 which we use for its fast and powerful pain relief which other meds fail to provide.

 Safety & Side Effects

Most over the counter painkillers are safe when used as directed, but there may be side effects that present themselves especially with long term use or incorrect dosing.

Here is a list of what we see quite often:

• Stomach issues and acid reflux (which includes use of NSAIDs).
• Dizziness or drowsiness (gabapentinoids)
• Risk of dependency with stronger painkillers
• Liver damage (if paracetamol is overused)

Beware If You Have:

• Kidney or liver issues

Important: Do not go over the recommended dose. If pain is still present for more than a few days please speak to a doctor.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Is it okay to take painkillers daily for chronic pain?

Some painkillers such as paracetamol are fine for regular use, but daily use of NSAIDs or more powerful drugs should be done under medical supervision. Long term use may lead to kidney damage, stomach ulcers, or dependency.

What do you notice between painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs?

Pain killers (analgesics) do put pain at bay but regarding inflammation they don’t which is what you would notice in an anti inflammatory medicine which also puts down on that inflammation as well as the related pain. What type you choose is based on the root of your pain.

Can over the counter painkillers treat joint or arthritis pain?

Mild joint pain does respond to OTC options but chronic arthritis and inflammatory pain often do better with prescription medications like NSAIDs or DMARDs. You must see your doctor for effective long term relief.

Is it safe to mix different pain meds?

Some  (like paracetamol with ibuprofen) are due to be prescribed by your doctor, but mixing meds out of the blue may put you at risk of side effects. Before combining drugs do check in with a pharmacist or health care provider.

When should I see a doctor about pain?

If pain lasts more than a few days, interferes with daily activities, or doesn’t improve with standard treatment, consult a doctor. Persistent pain may indicate a deeper issue requiring professional evaluation.
