It can help alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and slow down the progression of the disease. Let&#8217;s explore the different types of medications commonly used in India.<\/span><\/p><h4><b>Conventional Arthritis Medication<\/b><\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are several classes of conventional medications used to manage arthritis, each with its own mechanism of action and potential side effects:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs):<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> These over-the-counter or prescription medications are often the first line of treatment for arthritis pain. They work by reducing inflammation and pain. Common NSAIDs available in India include <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/mygenericmeds.co.in\/nexonweb\/product\/ibuvent-plus-tab-10s\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ibuprofen (with Paracetamol)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/mygenericmeds.co.in\/nexonweb\/product\/napfane-250-tab-10s\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">naproxen<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/mygenericmeds.co.in\/nexonweb\/product\/diclofenac-1-16linseed-oil-3menthol-5methyl-salicylate-10\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">diclofenac<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. However, long-term use of NSAIDs can have side effects like stomach ulcers and kidney problems, so it&#8217;s important to use them under medical supervision.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Disease-Modifying Antirheumatic Drugs (DMARDs):<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> These medications are used to slow down the progression of rheumatoid arthritis and prevent joint damage. Common DMARDs in India include methotrexate, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/mygenericmeds.co.in\/nexonweb\/product\/hydroxychloroquine-200mg\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hydroxychloroquine<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and sulfasalazine. They usually take several weeks or months to start working, and regular monitoring by your doctor is essential.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Biologics:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> These are newer medications made from living cells that target specific parts of the immune system to reduce inflammation. They are typically used for moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis when other medications haven&#8217;t been effective. While biologics can be very effective, they are also expensive and may have side effects, so careful consideration is needed.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Corticosteroids:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> These powerful anti-inflammatory drugs can be taken orally or injected directly into the affected joint. They are often used for short-term relief of severe pain and inflammation but are not recommended for long-term use due to potential side effects like weight gain, bone thinning, and increased risk of infections.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Best Quality and money-saving vitamin supplement products related to Bone and Joint care, check our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/mygenericmeds.co.in\/nexonweb\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">store<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/mygenericmeds.co.in\/nexonweb\/product\/collazor-c2-caps-10s\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">COLLAZOR-C2<\/span><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is one of our best selling products to slow down cartilage breakdown and reduce pain in the joints and knees.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h4><b>Natural Remedies for Arthritis in India<\/b><\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">India&#8217;s rich Ayurvedic tradition offers several natural remedies for arthritis pain relief.
