The medications used to treat arthritis vary depending on the type of arthritis. Commonly used arthritis medications include: Analgesics. These medications help reduce pain, but have no effect on inflammation. Examples include acetaminophen (Tylenol, others), tramadol (Ultram, Ultracet, others) and narcotics containing oxycodone (Percocet, Oxycontin, others) or hydrocodone (Norco, Vicoprofen, others).
Drugs that treat the symptoms of arthritis (for example pain and stiffness): Painkillers (analgesics) such as paracetamol reduce pain. These can be used for all types of arthritis. Itâs best to take them before an activity that's likely to aggravate the pain rather than wait until your pain is very bad.
