NSAIDs are taken orally
Not always. They sell ibuprofen in a tube so you can rub it on muscles. If you are in the US, you probably don't see it on your pharmacy shelves, though. The pharmacy I worked at didn't sell it (and it was a large chain), but all of the pharmacies I've seen in Norway have it.
- vorpalhex 4y agoI have seen it in US pharmacies, both labeled as NSAID and non-labeled but containing NSAID precursors. The labeled one had a measuring/dosage card attached which was really weird to me.
