What Experts Say

Flurbiprofen works by inhibiting the COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes, reducing the production of prostaglandins responsible for pain, swelling, and fever. This mechanism is shared across the NSAID class but flurbiprofen is often noted for stronger anti-inflammatory potency at standard doses compared to some other members of the same class.

NSAIDs remain first-line therapy for many inflammatory joint conditions despite their gastrointestinal risk, which is why doctors often add gastroprotective medicines such as a proton pump inhibitor for patients who need longer courses of treatment.

Osteoarthritis is common among older adults in Pakistan, and doctors generally weigh a patient's cardiovascular and kidney history carefully before prescribing a stronger NSAID like flurbiprofen for chronic use, often preferring the lowest effective dose for the shortest period that controls symptoms.
