About flurbiprofen

What is flurbiprofen used for?

Flurbiprofen is a type of anti-inflammatory painkiller called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

It is used to treat painful conditions such as गठिया, sprains and strains, period (menstrual) pain, और माइग्रेन pain. It is also prescribed to ease pain after surgical operations.

Flurbiprofen is also available as eye drops and as throat lozenges.

How does flurbiprofen work?

Flurbiprofen works by blocking COX enzymes in the body. These enzymes help produce prostaglandins, chemicals that cause pain and inflammation at injured areas.

When flurbiprofen blocks COX enzymes, fewer prostaglandins are made, so pain and inflammation decrease.
