Suggest Medication For Costochondritis
combination of drugs might be useful
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
when non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) are not effective enough, their efficacy can be enhanced by adding paracetamol to them. Opioids can be added later. The target of this treatment is to reduce the pain, so that the patient will still feel it but it won't affect the patient's daily activities significantly.
So in conclusion, adding paracetamol (acetaminophen) to the regimen will potentiate the effects of ibuprofen. If paracetamol and NSAID (ibuprofen) are not enough then opioids can be added to the regimen. For most patients though the combination is more than enough!
