Inflammation is the body's natural way of protecting itself against harm, such as infections or injuries. While it's a crucial part of healing, too much inflammation can lead to chronic pain and other health issues. In fact, chronic inflammation has been attributed to over half of all deaths worldwide.
Managing chronic pain and inflammation can be challenging, but understanding the tools at your disposal – such as anti-inflammatory drugs – can help you regain control and live a life not dominated by pain.

What Are Anti-Inflammatory Drugs?
When your body faces a threat, such as an injury or exposure to an infection, it springs into action to protect and heal itself. This protective response is called inflammation. To understand how anti-inflammatory drugs work, it's important to first grasp what happens during the inflammatory process.
Imagine you accidentally scrape your knee. Your body recognizes the injury and begins a complex series of events to repair the damage. This series of events is known as the inflammatory cascade, and it involves several key steps:
- Recognition of the Trigger: Specialized immune cells detect a threat and signal that help is needed.
- Recruitment of Immune Cells: The immune system sends white blood cells to the affected area. These cells work to eliminate the threat by attacking invaders like bacteria or by cleaning up damaged tissue.
- Release of Chemical Signals: Immune cells produce chemical proteins, such as cytokines and prostaglandins, that act as messengers to coordinate the immune response and regulate inflammation.
- Promotion of Inflammation: Blood vessels in the area widen, allowing blood to flow to the site (causing redness and warmth). Blood vessels become more "leaky," letting fluid and immune cells enter the tissue (causing swelling). Prostaglandins make nerve endings more sensitive, causing pain to signal that something is wrong and discouraging you from using the injured area.
How Anti-Inflammatory Drugs Intervene
Anti-inflammatory drugs work by targeting various stages of the inflammatory cascade, with each class of medication acting at specific points to manage excessive inflammation and relieve associated symptoms.
Why Managing Inflammation Matters
While inflammation is a natural and necessary response, uncontrolled or prolonged inflammation can damage tissue and contribute to various chronic diseases. Research suggests chronic inflammation negatively impacts quality of life, including physical, emotional, and social well-being.
Types of Anti-Inflammatory Drugs
Now that we have a clear understanding of what anti-inflammatory drugs are and how they work to interrupt the inflammatory cascade, it's time to explore the different types available.
Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs)
NSAIDs are a widely used and FDA-approved class of medications for reducing inflammation, relieving pain, and lowering fever. These effects make NSAIDs useful for treating a variety of ailments, such as:
- Muscle aches and minor injuries
- Joint pain and arthritis
- Menstrual cramps
- Fever
- Headaches
NSAIDs work by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes involved in producing prostaglandins, thereby decreasing inflammation and its associated symptoms.
Examples of common NSAIDs include:
- Aspirin
- Celecoxib
- Diclofenac
- Ibuprofen
- Indomethacin
- Ketorolac
- Naproxen
Corticosteroids
Corticosteroids are a powerful class of anti-inflammatory drugs that mimic the effects of cortisol, a hormone naturally produced by the adrenal glands. They reduce inflammation by suppressing the immune system and preventing the production of pro-inflammatory chemicals and proteins.
Corticosteroids are clinically indicated for treating various health conditions, including:
- Asthma
- Contact dermatitis
- Adrenal insufficiency
- Rheumatoid arthritis (RA)
- Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)
- Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
- Severe allergic reactions
Examples of some of the most commonly prescribed corticosteroids include:
- Prednisone
- Cortisone
- Hydrocortisone
- Methylprednisolone
Depending on the condition being treated, corticosteroids can be administered in different ways:
- Topically as a cream, ointment, or eye drop
- By mouth
- By injection (into a vein, muscle, or joint)
- By inhaler or intranasal spray
Biologics and Advanced Therapies
Biologic medications, or biologics, are a special class of medicine made from living organisms or their cells. They are often made from proteins or genetic material and are designed to target specific parts of the immune system.
Because of their precise nature, biologics can often more successfully reduce inflammation in difficult-to-treat autoimmune inflammatory diseases, including:
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Psoriatic arthritis (PsA)
- Inflammatory bowel disease
- Ankylosing spondylitis
Examples of biologic medications include:
- Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha (TNF-a) Inhibitors: adalimumab, etanercept, and infliximab
- B-Cell Inhibitors: belimumab and rituximab
- Interleukin Inhibitors: anakinra, canakinumab, guselkumab, and risankizumab
Applications and Benefits of Anti-Inflammatory Drugs
NSAIDs are commonly used for acute pain and inflammation, such as in soft tissue injuries and osteoarthritis. They effectively reduce pain and inflammation, with options including ibuprofen, naproxen, and diclofenac.
NSAIDs' anti-inflammatory effects have also been demonstrated to reduce pain and inflammation in other rheumatologic diseases, including juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, gout, SLE, and PsA.
Corticosteroids are used in both acute and chronic settings. For acute exacerbations of conditions like eczema or RA, corticosteroids can provide rapid symptom relief. In some cases, medical guidelines will recommend using corticosteroids temporarily to quickly reduce inflammation and relieve symptoms while waiting for disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) to take effect. This "bridging therapy" ensures immediate comfort and helps prevent disease progression during the initial treatment period.
Oral corticosteroids are used to induce remission of active IBD (including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis).
Biologics have revolutionized the treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases by targeting specific pathways involved in disease pathogenesis. Because they are more expensive than traditional medications, they are typically reserved as second- or third-line therapies when patients do not respond adequately to first-line treatment.
For example, the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) recommends prescribing biologics to patients with RA who have not responded adequately to conventional DMARDs like methotrexate.
Deciding What Anti-Inflammatories to Use
Disease severity, patient response, and the presence of comorbidities guide the integration of these therapies into treatment algorithms.
For instance, in axial spondyloarthritis, the ACR recommends starting with NSAIDs and progressing to biologics if there is an inadequate response.
Similarly, in PsA, treatment may begin with NSAIDs and corticosteroids, followed by DMARDs and biologics based on disease activity and prognostic factors.
Risks and Side Effects
While anti-inflammatory drugs are effective in managing pain and reducing inflammation, it's important to be aware of their potential risks and side effects. Different classes of these medications come with their own sets of concerns.
Risks and Side Effects of NSAIDs
Common less serious side effects associated with NSAID use include:
- Stomach Upset: NSAIDs can irritate the stomach lining, leading to nausea, heartburn, and abdominal pain
- Headaches: Overuse of NSAIDs may cause rebound headaches
- Allergic Reactions: Some individuals may experience rashes, itching, or more severe reactions like asthma attacks.
More serious risks associated with the long-term use of NSAIDs include:
- Gastrointestinal Issues: Prolonged use increases the risk of stomach ulcers, bleeding, and perforations
- Cardiovascular Effects: Long-term use of certain NSAIDs can raise the risk of heart attacks and strokes, particularly in individuals with existing heart conditions.
- Kidney Damage: Extended use can impair kidney function, potentially leading to kidney disease or failure.
Risks and Side Effects of Corticosteroids
Corticosteroids can cause a wide range of potential side effects, primarily determined by the dose and duration of use. Commonly reported side effects include:
- Weight gain
- Increased appetite
- Fluid retention
- Mood swings
- Easy bruising
- Acne
- Muscle weakness
- Insomnia
- Increased blood sugar
The chances of developing more severe conditions increase the longer a person takes corticosteroids, including:
- Osteoporosis
- Infections due to a suppressed immune system
- Cataracts
- Glaucoma
- Cushing syndrome
- Adrenal insufficiency can occur with the abrupt termination of corticosteroid use.
Risks and Side Effects of Biologics
Because biologics alter how the immune system works, the most common risk associated with biologic drugs is increased infection risk.
Injection reactions may occur. Redness, swelling, or pain at the injection site are common. However, contact your doctor immediately if you experience any symptoms of an allergic reaction:
- Itching
- Rash
- Swelling of the face
- Shortness of breath
Less common side effects can include:
- Vision disturbances
- Numbness and tingling
- Swelling of the ankles or hands
- Sudden onset of heart failure
- Lupus-like syndrome, characterized by joint pain and a rash on the face that gets worse in the sun
Alternatives to Anti-Inflammatory Drugs
For those looking for other ways to reduce inflammation, these adjunctive lifestyle modifications and natural supplements may help:
Lifestyle Modifications
Making specific changes in your daily life can help manage inflammation naturally:
- Eat an anti-inflammatory diet, such as the Mediterranean or DASH
- Exercise regularly, aiming for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity weekly
- Quit smoking and avoid exposure to secondhand smoke
- Prioritize getting adequate amounts of good quality sleep; for adults, this is 7-9 hours per night
Natural Supplements
While you should never start taking any dietary supplements before consulting a healthcare provider, research suggests that incorporating these supplements into your daily routine may help support a healthy immune system and natural inflammatory response:
- Turmeric: Contains curcumin, a compound that can block TNF-a and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB), signaling molecules and proteins responsible for turning on the immune system's inflammatory pathways
- Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Research shows that establishing a lower omega-6 to omega-3 ratio between 4:1 and 1:1 is associated with lower systemic inflammation levels.
- Ginger: Research suggests that certain constituents in ginger can inhibit COX enzymes, diminishing pain similarly to NSAIDs.
