What Experts Say

Flurbiprofen is a nonsteroidal anti inflammatory drug from the propionic acid group, like ibuprofen. It blocks COX enzymes, which lowers prostaglandins that cause pain and swelling. It does not repair joint damage but helps people stay active with less pain.

The SR in the name means sustained release. The capsule releases medicine gradually, so one 200mg dose can work through the day and night. Pain and stiffness usually improve within a few days of regular use. Do not share it with others.

Like all NSAIDs it can irritate the stomach and affect kidneys and blood pressure. Doctors therefore choose the lowest dose that works and advise taking it with food, often in the evening. People with a history of ulcers, heart disease or kidney disease need a doctor's approval first. Tell your doctor about stomach ulcers, asthma, kidney disease or heart problems. Avoid alcohol while taking it to protect your stomach.
