Exploring Osteoarthritis Treatment Options: Acetaminophen as a Secondary Choice

T/F: Acetaminophen is the 1st line of treatment for osteoarthritis.

False, NSAIDs are the first line.

False. While acetaminophen may be recommended as an initial treatment for mild osteoarthritis, it is not considered the first-line treatment. Other over-the-counter medications such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or topical analgesics may also be recommended as first-line treatments for mild to moderate osteoarthritis. In some cases, stronger medications and joint injections may be necessary for severe osteoarthritis. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for individualized treatment recommendations.
