| rdfs:comment | - An anti-inflammatory is a pharmaceutical that acts to reduce inflammation. About half of analgesics are also anti-inflammatories, and steroids are often used for their anti-inflammatory effect. Although they all work to reduce inflammation, they often have a different mechanism of action, such as reducing histamines or preventing the production of prostaglandins.
- An anti-inflammatory was a type of drug that reduced inflammation. In 2368, Doctor Beverly Crusher gave Soren something to reduce the inflammation caused by a concussion the J'naii pilot had suffered. (TNG: "The Outcast" ) In 2374, Tuvok suggested that Neelix ask The Doctor for an anti-inflammatory in lieu of multiple pillows, without which the Talaxian claimed he had terrible neck pains.

(VOY: "Demon") In the writers' second draft script of ENT: "Breaking the Ice", Doctor Phlox used an anti-inflammatory gel to treat a bruise on Trip Tucker's cheek. The script's stage directions described it as having a "greenish" coloration and a "cool" temperature. Phlox retrieved a small see-through container of the gel from a cold storage unit in Enterprise's sickbay, then applied it to Tucker's bruise.
