A. There are over a 100 drugs, medications and medicines used in the treatment of arthritis. you'll have to be more specific.

Q. Can ADHD and ADD medication harm you? My son is diagnosed as an ADHD and the Dr. recommended taking Ritalin

They were a lot of papers done on this question alone, some said Ritalin can give you cancer other works proofed it wrong (a much more extensive experiment I might say). The FDA gave a black box warning (medication that can cause death) only on Atomoxetine , which is not as effective like others anyway.
