Painkillers are essential medications. Pain can become a surprise for any person, even a healthy one. Unpleasant sensations in the back, headache, and toothache – this is not the whole list of problems that a person can have. Anesthetics can alleviate unpleasant symptoms. Most painkillers are sold without a prescription, and therefore it is very important to choose the right analgesics.
The three most common over-the-counter analgesics available at Canadian Pharmacy Mall are Motrin, Tylenol, and Diclofenac.
These are effective and at the same time relatively safe pain medications. Before using any painkiller, we advise you to carefully read not only the specific purposes of the drug but also its possible side effects, as well as contraindications. Let’s review the best uses for each.
The Best Sellers Among Pain Killers
1. Motrin
Motrin is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug with analgesic and antipyretic effects.
Indications: Rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthrosis, psoriatic arthritis, sciatica, shoulder-scapular periarthritis, mild or moderate pain syndrome (with soft tissue injuries, algodismenorrhea), headache and toothache; painful menstruation.
Action: Motrin affects immune processes, disrupting the recognition of specific signals by the receptors of lymphocytes and thymocytes. The anti-inflammatory effect occurs by the end of the first week of treatment. The drug significantly reduces pain syndrome, including joint pain at rest and during movement, increases the volume of movements, reduces morning stiffness and swelling of the joints.
2. Tylenol
Tylenol is an analgesic drug of non-narcotic effect.
Indications: Feverish syndrome against the background of infectious diseases; pain syndrome (mild and moderate): arthralgia, myalgia, neuralgia, migraine, dental and headache, algodismenorea.
Action: affects the pain blocks, reducing body temperature and removing pain. In addition, the medication actively affects the inflammatory focus, removing the inflammatory process.
3. Diclofenac
Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug.
Indications: Inflammatory and inflammatory-activated degenerative forms of rheumatism, rheumatic soft tissue lesions, painful swelling or inflammation after trauma or surgical interventions, non-rheumatic inflammatory pain conditions.
Action: Has anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic effect, reduces and stops the pain (including joint pain at rest and during movement), reduces morning stiffness and swelling of the joints.
Combined Pain Relievers: Complex but Effective
The central component of most combined analgesics from Canadian Pharmacy Mall is usually paracetamol. A safe preparation, which is sometimes mistakenly classified as a group of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, has several effects: moderate analgesic, antipyretic, and anti-inflammatory. Paracetamol is a fairly strong analgesic even in its pure form, and with additional components, its quality is enhanced. As a rule, combined analgesics, which include paracetamol, are used to relieve pain in catarrhal diseases. We offer the following combined painkillers:
- Movexx Plus (Aceclofenac & Paracetamol);
- Zupar (Paracetamol & Ibuprofen);
- Pentagesic (Diclofenac & Paracetamol);
- Nervz-G (Methylcobalamin & Gabapentin).
All of these drugs effectively eliminate pain and have a low price. Which pain reliever to choose? See a comparative table below which will help you choose the right medicine:
