What anti-inflammatory medicine should I take for knee effusion

Knee effusion generally refers to knee synovitis, which is caused by various injuries, irritations, and sprains. The knee is a very important joint in the human body. Once disease such as knee effusion occurs, it will have a great impact, and in severe cases it will lead to limited function. Therefore, anti-inflammatory drugs that can treat knee effusion have become the most concerning issue for patients. So, what anti-inflammatory medicine should I take for knee effusion? Let’s take a look below.

Currently, drugs for the treatment of synovitis are mainly divided into two categories: oral and topical. Topical medications are all anti-inflammatory drugs that can relieve symptoms by eliminating inflammation, but have no therapeutic effect on synovial strain or trauma. Some oral medications have the same mechanism of action as topical medications, and few of them can effectively treat synovial lesions. Patients should be careful when choosing medicines and carefully check the functions and indications of the medicines. For example, if the medicine indicates pain, swelling, effusion, etc. caused by synovitis, it means that the medicine only has the effect of reducing inflammation and relieving symptoms. If patients want to achieve good therapeutic effects, they should take oral and topical medications at the same time and persist in the treatment, not stopping the medication once the symptoms disappear.
