It works by inhibiting enzymes involved in the production of prostaglandins, which are mediators of inflammation and pain. Commonly prescribed for short-term relief of musculoskeletal pain and menstrual discomfort. Also utilized in veterinary medicine for pain management in animals. Its anti-inflammatory properties make it suitable for managing acute flare-ups of joint and tissue inflammation.
