Used primarily as a potent anti-inflammatory and analgesic agent, this compound is effective in managing pain and inflammation associated with conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and primary dysmenorrhea. It functions by selectively inhibiting cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzymes, thereby reducing the production of prostaglandins that mediate pain and inflammation. Due to its enantiomeric purity, it exhibits enhanced pharmacological activity and reduced metabolic burden compared to racemic mixtures. It is formulated in oral dosage forms and is valued for its rapid onset of action and sustained efficacy. Its application is limited in patients with cardiovascular risks due to potential thrombotic events associated with prolonged use.
