Because not all the medications can be listed here, among the four commonly used arthritis medications are: Osteoporosis, Analgesics (Pain Relievers), Disease-Modifying Antirheumatic Drugs (DMARD), and Fibromyalgia.
Out of these four, analgesics are the most popular arthritis pain medications. You don’t really need a prescription to get some of them. Included as analgesics are ibuprofen, naproxen, aspirin and acetaminophen.
Prescription is necessary for analgesics like codeine, oxycodone and propoxyphene. Never depart form the dosage prescribed by the physician because prescription analgesics can easily become addictive.
Disease-Modifying Antirheumatic Drugs are used to treat patients with destructive cases of arthritis as well as slow the progress of arthritis from attacking the joints and causing deformity. The long time frame required for taking DMARDS makes it necessary for dosage alteration.
