Oxyphenbutazone

Oxyphenbutazone is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and alleviate fever. It works by inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), which is responsible for producing prostaglandins – chemicals in the body that cause pain, inflammation, and fever. Oxyphenbutazone is commonly prescribed for treating various conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and other joint disorders that cause pain and swelling.
Before taking Oxyphenbutazone, it is important to inform your healthcare provider if you have any pre-existing medical conditions, especially kidney or liver disease, high blood pressure, heart disease, or a history of peptic ulcers. This medication may cause side effects, such as gastrointestinal issues (e.g., nausea, vomiting, stomach pain), headache, dizziness, or skin rash. If any of these side effects persist or worsen, consult your healthcare provider.
Follow the prescribed dosage and not exceed the recommended limit, as this may increase the risk of side effects. Additionally, Oxyphenbutazone should not be taken during pregnancy or breastfeeding without consulting a healthcare professional, as the risks to the fetus or infant are unknown.
