Oxaprozin

Oxaprozin is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used for the relief of signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. It works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals that cause pain, swelling, and inflammation in the body. Oxaprozin is available in tablet form and is typically prescribed for short-term use in patients who have not responded to other treatments or those who cannot tolerate other NSAIDs. However, like all NSAIDs, Oxaprozin may cause side effects, including gastrointestinal bleeding and cardiovascular events. Therefore, consult with a healthcare professional before starting or continuing treatment with Oxaprozin.
