Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, corticosteroids, and disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs are commonly prescribed for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, a chronic autoimmune disorder that affects joints and causes inflammation. Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by decreased bone density and is typically treated with medications such as bisphosphonates, not the drugs mentioned above. Rheumatic fever is a complication of untreated strep throat and is not usually treated with these types of drugs. Hyperacusis is a sensitivity to sound that is usually managed with sound therapy or counseling.
