No.: Any anti-inflammatory pills can be used for arthritis, but they are used for many other problems. Advil (ibuprofen), aleve (naproxen) (naproxyn), Motrin (ibuprofen), Aspirin and just examples of arthritis medications, but are used for pain, headaches and other entities. Importantly, do not take more than the prescribed amount, generally take with some food, and if any stomach pains, stop altogether.

No: No arthritis medication typically is another way to describe a class of medications known as anti inflammatory medications. You don't have to have arthritis to take it potentially benefit from using those medications.
