Osteoarthritis causes swelling and redness of the joints, making the patient susceptible to injuries and further aggravate the condition. Some Osteoarthritis Drugs like Delexan, Glucosamine, and Chondroitin Sulfate are used to reduce inflammation of the joints by neutralizing and controlling the enzymes that cause inflammation in the joints. In certain cases, the Osteoarthritis Drugs like Motrin, Advil, and Tylenol can be used for relieving the pain in the joints for the short term. Some of the Osteoarthritis Drugs that are included in the treatment options include acetaminophen, NSAIDs, corticosteroids, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
