Does taking anti-inflammatories affect muscle growth?

1 Answer

Answer :

That is a very good question. I would think it takes long term ongoing usage, but I also think the smartest thing would be to consult a pharmacist or doctor. Perhaps, if your thought is correct, then how one’s muscle development naturally occurs would also affect the success of the anti-inflammatories. Now I am curious, so, if you fail to find an answer here, but do learn something later, will you post your findings?
