What Experts Say

Flurbiprofen is a non-selective COX inhibitor. Less prostaglandin means less inflammation, less pain and less morning stiffness in affected joints. It reaches joint tissue after absorption from the gut and works for several hours per dose. Effects usually begin within an hour or two of swallowing a tablet.

It is widely used in rheumatology and sports medicine for arthritis pain, ligament injuries and muscle strain. Relief is symptomatic, so the cause of the pain still needs attention. Rest, gentle exercise and weight control support the medicine in arthritis. Regular use over several days gives steadier arthritis control.

Doctors prefer the smallest dose for the shortest period. Food or milk with each tablet protects the stomach, and people with heart, kidney or ulcer history need closer monitoring. Anyone with asthma triggered by painkillers should mention it before starting. Never double a dose to make up for a missed one, and skip it if the next dose is due.
