Overview:

Ansaid
(when available)

Pharmacology and use:
Flurbiprofen, a nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug (NSAID) of the propionic acid class, is used for the relief of pain and inflammation associated with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis and for the inhibition of intraoperative miosis. Flurbiprofen exhibits antiinflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic activities. Flurbiprofen tablets are indicated for the acute or long-term treatment of the signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis and osteorarthritis.

Mechanism Of Action:
The antiinflammatory effect of flurbiprofen may result from the reversible inhibition of cyclooxygenase, causing the peripheral inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis. Flurbiprofen also inhibits the migration of leukocytes into sites of inflammation and prevents the formation of thromboxane A2, an aggregating agent, by the platelets.
