Anti-inflammatory Medications (NSAIDs)
for Phlebitis
OTC NSAIDs (ibuprofen, diclofenac gel) to reduce inflammation and pain in superficial thrombophlebitis.
How it works
NSAIDs inhibit COX enzymes reducing prostaglandin production and local inflammatory mediators.
What to watch for
Topical diclofenac gel may be preferable to minimise systemic side effects. Not for deep vein thrombophlebitis without medical guidance.
