Used primarily as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), it provides relief from pain, inflammation, and stiffness caused by conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and musculoskeletal disorders. It is also effective in managing postoperative pain, dental pain, and menstrual cramps. Due to its rapid conversion to an active metabolite in the body, it offers quick onset of action with relatively fewer gastrointestinal side effects compared to other NSAIDs. Commonly prescribed in oral form, it is utilized in both acute and chronic pain management settings.
