What is the best anti-inflammatory on the market?

Answer by  newfave (69)

Ibuprophen is a simple cheap option. Most would say that Naproxen is more effective, but each person may respond differently to different drugs. Selective anti-inflamatories such as Celebrex are very effective, but may have some side effects that are undesireable.

Cox 2 inhibitors are supposed to be the best anti inflammatory items on the market at the moment. This inhibitor targets enzymes that are responsible for inflammation and or pain. They could increase blood pressure in the kidneys, so therefore there are some risks involved. But so far it has earned reputation as best.
