    Glossary Anti-inflammatory drugs

    reduce inflammation by inhibiting specific chemical processes in the body

    Anti-inflammatory drugs, also known as anti-inflammatories or anti-inflammatory medications, are substances designed to reduce inflammation in the body. They work by inhibiting the production of certain chemicals, such as prostaglandins, that trigger inflammation, pain, and swelling. Common examples include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen and corticosteroids like prednisone. These medications are often used to treat conditions like arthritis, allergies, and autoimmune diseases, and can also be beneficial in managing inflammation-related hair loss conditions such as alopecia areata.
