Prescription Medications NSAIDs Your doctor may prescribe full strength non-selective NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) when over the counter medications are ineffective. The risk of side effects increases as the medications dose is increased. A new class of NSAIDs, called selective COX 2 inhibitors have been shown to be just as effective safer with respect to ulcers and bleeding and are becoming the prescription drug of choice for many physicians.. Examples are Vioxx, Celebrex, and Bextra. |
