What otc treatments are the most effective in treating knee arthritis and inflammation?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
For wear&tear osteoarthritis anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen or naproxen are usually effective. Taking glucosamine & chondroitin supplements may help, but if not effective discontinue after 3 months.

When a patient is asking about OTC treatment about a specific diagnosis you wonder if they have ever had the diagnosis confirmed. One of the best treatments for osteoarthritis ( (common arthritis) of the knee is physical therapy. There are many types of arthritis in the knee. Some will not get better with OTC medications, See a doctor in person for a proper evaluation
