- jvanderbot 4y agoAnalgesics are not anti inflammatory medication, they are pain relief meds, if I understand. Analgesics are ok for pain relief according to MEAT
- emodendroket 4y agoWhich painkillers are not also anti-inflammatory drugs? All the OTC ones are NSAIDs.
- jvanderbot 4y agoWell, acetaminophen is not NSAID, that's why you can take acetaminophen with ibuprofen for really bad headaches. That's what Excedrin is.
- emodendroket 4y agoWell, I’d suggest making “A” stand for acetaminophen then.
- jvanderbot 4y agoAh, it's not the only one, it's just one? If you want to share it that way, that's probably fine by everyone.
- TylerE 4y agoNot available in the US, but in many countries various acetaminophen+codeine preperations are available (at limited strength) OTC. "Tylenol 3" is a common one
