All pathologies of the musculoskeletal system are accompanied by pain syndrome and inflammation. In the early stages of the development of diseases, these signs are poorly expressed, and physiotherapy, gymnastics and local influences are sufficient to eliminate them. When the disease progresses, it is necessary to use anti-inflammatory drugs for the joints. Depending on the origin of the active ingredients, they are classified into 2 large groups - steroid and nonsteroidal agents. Each type has a number of features, advantages and disadvantages.
Steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for the treatment of joints
The described type of medicines is the most effective and fast acting. Such drugs are based on chemical compounds that are similar in molecular structure to cortisone isolated by the human body.
Usually, steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for joints are used in the form of injections. With the help of injections, the maximum therapeutic effect is achieved, especially if they are performed directly in the affected area, the intra-articular space.
