A member asked:
What is the strongest anti inflammatory you can buy?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends: If by "buying" your mean "over the counter", then you are limited. Ibuprofen. Aspirin and Naproxen sodium (aleve) are about the only anti-inflammatories available. If you are referring to buying prescription medications, there are several. "strongest" can be relative to the person. Indomethacin has long been considered a more potent med but Prednisone and such sterioids are truly potent ai's.

Steroids: Steroids are the strongest anti-inflammatories. Dexamethasone is the strongest steroid by mass.
