What is flurbiprofene?

Flurbiprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve pain and inflammation. It works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, which are responsible for pain and swelling. It is commonly prescribed for conditions such as arthritis, menstrual cramps, dental pain, headaches, and sports injuries. Flurbiprofen is available in various forms, including oral tablets, capsules, and topical gels. It is usually taken orally, with or without food, and the dosage depends on the severity of the condition. It may cause some side effects such as gastrointestinal problems, dizziness, and rash. Flurbiprofen should not be taken by people with a history of allergic reactions to NSAIDs, those with bleeding disorders, or those with kidney or liver disease. It may also interact with other medications, so it is important to consult a doctor before taking flurbiprofen.
