Floctafenine is primarily used as a non-opioid analgesic and antipyretic, making it effective in relieving mild to moderate pain and reducing fever. It is often prescribed for conditions such as headaches, dental pain, musculoskeletal pain, and post-operative pain. Its mechanism of action involves inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis, which helps reduce inflammation and pain. Due to its relatively fast onset of action, it is suitable for short-term pain management. However, its use has declined in some regions due to potential side effects, including gastrointestinal discomfort and rare cases of allergic reactions. It is typically administered orally in tablet form, with dosage adjusted based on the severity of symptoms and patient response.
