Dr. Furlan shows the indications and contra-indications for these medications. How to use them for pain, chronic pain, migraines, headaches, menstrual cramps and acute pain.

She answers questions about mixing antiinflammatories, safety for children, during pregnancy and for elderly people.

Dr. Furlan explains that some anti-inflammatories are different in terms of side effects, complications and toxicity. It is important to remember that acetaminophen is not an anti-inflammatory but Dr. Furlan includes this drug in this video because there is a lot of confusion about what acetaminophen is.
