Used primarily to treat symptoms of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, this compound helps reduce pain, inflammation, and joint stiffness. It is classified as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with a lower risk of gastrointestinal side effects compared to some other NSAIDs, making it a preferred option for long-term management of chronic inflammatory conditions. Its active metabolite inhibits cyclooxygenase enzymes involved in the production of prostaglandins, which are mediators of inflammation and pain. Commonly prescribed for adults, it supports improved mobility and quality of life in patients with degenerative joint diseases.
