A member asked:

What kind of over-the-counter medications would i get for arteritis ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

None: If you do have arteritis, inflammatory disease of blood vessels, this can be a very severe and life threatening condition, and does not lend itself to self-treatments. Work closely with your doctor.
