What anti inflammatory pain medicine does in your body
When you are hurt or sick, your body makes chemicals that cause pain and swelling. This medicine slows those chemicals down. Less swelling. Less pain. It works all over your body. So it helps a headache and sore legs at the same time.
It is non narcotic. It will not make you high or sleepy. There is no habit risk.
Most people feel it in 30 to 60 minutes. Relief lasts for several hours.
We give one dose per visit. That is a safety rule. Your stomach and kidneys need a break between doses.
