No it is NSAID also : It is also an nsaid. In part the answer depends on what your allergic reaction is. Is it allergy or just intolerance. This is best discussed with your physician. It also is important to define what your aches and pains are due to. It may not be inflammation. Your physician can help clarify this and can guide you to other physicians who can help like rheumatology or orthopedics.
