Action-Class
| Action | Classification |
|---|---|
| Inhibit prostaglandin synthesis, preventing receptors from becoming even more sensitive to other elements of inflammation. | NSAID |
| Inhibit the production of prostaglandins and produces unique irriversible cyclooxygenase-1 inhibition. | Salicylate |
| A type of NSAID that selectively inhibits cyclooxygenase-2 with less side effects. | Cox-2 Inhibitor |
| Elevates the pain threshold and may decrease the production of prostaglandins. | Analgesic |
| Act on motor neurons or the neuromuscular junction, preventing contraction and spasms and providing pain relief. | Muscle relaxant |
| Can potentially modify disease progression by targeting the part of the immune system responsible for inflammation and joint damage. | DMARD |
| Reduce the production of uric acid or help the body get rid of it more efficiently. | Antigout agent |
| Inhibit osteoclasts from removing calcium from bone tissue, preventing bone breakdown. | Bisphosphonate |
| Kill bacteria or inhibit their growth and reproduction | Antibacterial |
