Common prescription and OTC pain relievers such as acetaminophen, aspirin, naproxen, oxaprozin, nabumetone, diclofenac and ibuprofen, are effective at relieving discomfort, but do not address the root cause of joint pain. Additionally, these drugs may produce side effects such as liver damage, kidney damage and bleeding from the intestinal tract. Research has shown the compounds in QEVA provide relief from pain and swelling while working to repair underlying issues like cartilage damage and function. QEVA does not produce any serious side effects at recommended dosages.
