Slide 1 of 6

Introduction

Whether it’s a pounding headache, post-workout muscle soreness or back pain, there’s a growing array of over-the-counter (OTC) analgesics to relieve your “ouch.” Plus, new and improved formulations make them easier to swallow, more targeted and faster to take effect. To get the straight goods on what remedy works best for different types of pain, Best Health spoke to three pain-relief pros: Warren Meek, president-elect of the Canadian Pharmacists Association and a community pharmacist in Halifax; Dr. Kymm Feldman, a family physician at Women’s College Hospital in Toronto; and Dr. Brian Knight, an anesthesiologist and pain specialist in Edmonton.
