Used primarily as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), this compound is effective in managing pain and inflammation associated with conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and low back pain. It works by inhibiting the activity of cyclooxygenase enzymes, thereby reducing the production of prostaglandins that cause inflammation and pain. Due to its rapid onset of action and potent analgesic effects, it is often prescribed for acute pain relief. It is also utilized in dental pain and postoperative pain management. Its favorable gastrointestinal tolerability profile compared to other NSAIDs makes it a preferred choice in some patient populations.
