What medication will I need to take for ankylosing spondylitis?

Condition analysis:
Over 80% of people with AS take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) to reduce inflammation and relieve pain and stiffness. However, some people may experience side-effects with NSAIDs and prefer to take simple pain killers such as paracetamol. For others, especially those who suffer from inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease and Ulcerative Colitis) or peripheral joint arthritis, a disease-modifying antirheumatic drug like sulphasalazine may be required.
