Used for relief of pain and inflammation in osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, muscle pain, toothache, headache, ear/nose/throat inflammation, and post-surgical pain.
As a prodrug, it is metabolized to its active form which inhibits cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, reducing prostaglandin synthesis and thereby decreasing inflammation, pain, and fever.
Like other NSAIDs, it may cause gastrointestinal irritation, ulcers, or bleeding. Use with caution in patients with renal impairment, asthma, or those taking anticoagulants. Not recommended during late pregnancy.
