Aspirin remains the agent of first choice, but ibuprofen, fenoprofen, naproxen and tolmetin are useful drugs in rheumatoid arthritis. Ibuprofen and fenoprofen are also approved for use in osteoarthritis. Each shares anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic properties with aspirin, phenylbutazone and indomethacin. The nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents have fewer minor side effects than aspirin and fewer major side effects than indomethacin or phenylbutazone. The patient must understand that drugs are but one part of a comprehensive management program.
阿司匹林仍然是首选药物，但布洛芬、非诺洛芬、萘普生和托美丁在类风湿性关节炎中也是有用的药物。布洛芬和非诺洛芬也被批准用于骨关节炎。它们与阿司匹林、保泰松和吲哚美辛都具有抗炎、止痛和解热特性。非甾体抗炎药的轻微副作用比阿司匹林少，严重副作用比吲哚美辛或保泰松少。患者必须明白，药物只是综合治疗方案的一部分。
