Arthritis symptom treatment
When using drugs such as ibuprofen, or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) as part of your arthritis symptom treatment, avoid sodium (salt), which causes water retention. Such medication should be taken only after eating, and take an antacid an hour after taking the drug. Gastrointestinal bleeding is a problem worth considering, especially with the elderly, so make sure to ask your doctor for a protective agent that will work well during the arthritis symptom treatment. Acetaminophen (sold as Tylenol, Datril) may be a better medication for osteoarthritis than NSAIDs or Aspirin. Such drugs often remove the pain caused by osteoarthritis better than NSAIDs. However, there are several indications you should follow when using such arthritis symptom treatments – avoiding alcohol for example is a major requirement, as the combination of the two elements may lead to liver damage.
