The medications used to treat arthritis vary depending on the type of arthritis. Commonly used arthritis medications include: Analgesics. These medications help reduce pain, but have no effect on inflammation. Examples include acetaminophen (Tylenol, others), tramadol (Ultram, Ultracet, others) and narcotics containing oxycodone (Percocet, Oxycontin, others) or hydrocodone (Norco, Vicoprofen, others).
NSAIDs and Other Anti-inflammatory Drugs. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an inflammatory condition that often strikes in middle age. It may not be diagnosed immediately. At first it may resemble common arthritis. Some people treat their symptoms with over-the-counter pain relievers like aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen. These drugs are called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs.
