NSAIDs No Better Than Other Over-the Counter Drugs for Low Back Pain

When low back pain strikes, many people turn to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), like naproxen and ibuprofen, or their newer COX-2 inhibitor cousin Celebrex. However, these drugs work no better than old faithful acetaminophen (Tylenol), according to a new review of studies.

Review data “support guidelines for the management of low back pain in primary care that recommend NSAIDs as a treatment option after Tylenol has been tried, since there are fewer side effects with Tylenol,” said lead reviewer Pepijn Roelofs.
