Natural pain and inflammation Relief

Many people turn to over-the-counter (OTC) pain relievers when seeking relief from pain and inflammation, these are medicines that you can buy without a prescription from your doctor. Two main types of OTC pain relievers are available. One type is acetaminophen (one brand name: Tylenol). The second type is non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (also called NSAIDs). NSAIDs include the following:

• Aspirin (some brand names: Bayer, St. Joseph)
• Ibuprofen (some brand names: Advil, Motrin)
• Naproxen (one brand name: Aleve)

Some products contain both acetaminophen and aspirin (brand names: Excedrin Extra Strength, Excedrin Migraine, Vanquish).

Acetaminophen seems to relieve pain and reduce fever by working on the parts of the brain that receive pain messages and control the body's temperature.

NSAIDs relieve pain and fever by reducing the level of hormone-like substances (called prostaglandins) that your body makes. These substances cause the feeling of pain by irritating your nerve endings. They also are part of the system that helps your body control its temperature.

Acetaminophen and NSAIDs help to reduce fever and relieve pain caused by headaches, muscle aches and stiffness. NSAIDs can also reduce inflammation (swelling). Acetaminophen does not reduce inflammation.

OTC pain relievers can be helpful in treating many types of pain, such as pain from arthritis, earaches, back pain, and pain after surgery. They can also treat pain from the flu (influenza) or a cold, sinusitis, strep throat or a sore throat. Children who may have the flu or chickenpox should not take aspirin because they are at higher risk to develop a condition called Reye's Syndrome.

Acetaminophen can be a good choice for relieving headaches and other common aches and pains. It can be used safely on a long-term basis by most people for arthritis and other chronic painful conditions.

Ibuprofen is helpful for relieving menstrual cramps and pain from inflammation (such as muscle sprains). If ibuprofen doesn't work for you, Naproxen may be an option.

Side effects of OTC pain relievers are rare for healthy adults who only use pain relievers once in a while. If you have health problems or use OTC pain relievers often, talk with your family doctor.

Side effects with acetaminophen are rare. However, liver damage can occur if you drink alcohol and take acetaminophen.

NSAIDs may cause upset stomach. They can also cause increased bruising or risk of bleeding in the stomach. When taken regularly, they may cause kidney damage. NSAIDs may also make high blood pressure worse.

Do not take acetaminophen if you:

• Have severe kidney or liver disease
• Have 3 or more drinks that contain alcohol every day
• Are already taking another product containing acetaminophen
