Used primarily as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), it is effective in managing pain and inflammation associated with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. It helps reduce joint swelling, stiffness, and discomfort, improving mobility in patients. Due to its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, it is also prescribed for short-term relief in acute musculoskeletal conditions. It is typically administered orally in capsule or tablet form and is valued for its rapid onset of action in reducing pain intensity.
