Description:
Flurbiprofen is a n***teroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) effective in treating fever, pain, and inflammation in the body. It is similar to ibuprofen (Motrin or Advil), naproxen (Naprosyn), and others. As a group, NSAIDs are non-*** relievers of mild to moderate pain of many causes, including injury, menstrual cramps, arthritis, and other musculoskeletal conditi***. They work by reducing the levels of prostaglandins, chemicals that are resp***ible for pain, fever, and inflammation. Flurbiprofen blocks the enzyme that makes prostaglandins (cyclooxygenase), resulting in lower concentrati*** of prostaglandins. As a c***equence, inflammation, pain and fever are reduced. The FDA approved flurbiprofen in October 1988.
