Used primarily as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) to relieve pain, inflammation, and swelling associated with conditions like arthritis. It works by reducing hormones that cause inflammation and pain in the body. Commonly prescribed for short-term management of mild to moderate pain, including menstrual pain (dysmenorrhea), due to its effectiveness in reducing prostaglandin production. Also utilized to treat muscle aches, dental pain, and postoperative inflammation. Its topical formulations are explored for localized pain relief with reduced systemic side effects.
