Rheumatoid Arthritis Medication List

Acetaminophen

Acetaminophen is a fever reducer and pain reliever available in tablets. It can work to alleviate minor pain and aches throughout the body in people with rheumatoid arthritis. However, this medication is not so effective at easing inflammation because it does not have any anti-inflammatory properties. You can easily purchase acetaminophen over the counter without a doctor’s prescription. It is available in the form of a rectal suppository and oral medication. Due to the risk of severe liver issues, do not take too much acetaminophen. [3]
