Stop do not take that drug use this herb. Ginger is very effective anti-inflammatory. On one study I have read that Indian researchers gave 3 to 7 grams of ginger to people with osteoarthritis and the other group was rheumatoid arthritis and more than 75% reported relief. Even after 2 years of taking this much nobody reported side effects.
In another study according to the BBC news (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/1665874.stm),Rheumatologist professor Ray Altman, who who was in charge of the study tested the ginger on 250 people (which is a small number) each was suffering from moderate to severe pain was given 255 milligram twice a day for 6 weeks and two-thirds reported pain relief
