What Experts Say

This medicine contains flurbiprofen, an NSAID that reduces the body's production of prostaglandins. Those chemicals cause much of the pain, heat and swelling in inflamed tissue. Because it acts on both pain and swelling, it suits inflammatory joint disease better than plain paracetamol. Many people feel easier movement within the first few days.

Doctors commonly use it for osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and soft tissue injuries. It eases symptoms and helps people move more comfortably. Heat packs and stretching can add to the relief during flare-ups. Doctors often review the need for it every few weeks.

Guidelines advise the lowest effective dose for the shortest time. A meal or glass of milk alongside each tablet helps protect the stomach, and regular follow-up is wise with extended use. Older adults are usually started on a lower dose and reviewed more often. Never double a dose to make up for a missed one, and skip it if the next dose is due.
