The best over-the-counter medicine for muscle stiffness is usually a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) like ibuprofen or naproxen, which helps reduce pain and inflammation. Acetaminophen can also relieve discomfort, though it does not reduce inflammation. Always follow the dosing instructions and consult a healthcare professional if you have any medical conditions or take other medications.
