Enfenamic acid is primarily used as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and lower fever. It is commonly prescribed for conditions such as arthritis, muscle aches, and other inflammatory disorders. The compound works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals in the body that cause pain and inflammation. Additionally, it is sometimes used in veterinary medicine to manage pain and inflammation in animals. Its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties make it a valuable option for short-term relief in both human and animal healthcare.
