What Experts Say

Doctors sometimes turn to this type of tablet for pain relief in patients who cannot tolerate standard anti-inflammatory painkillers, since it works mainly as a pain reliever without the same anti-inflammatory action. Specialists have historically used it for dental pain, muscle pain, and pain after minor procedures.

Pharmacists note that this medicine belongs to a smaller, less commonly prescribed group of pain relievers compared to ibuprofen or diclofenac, so awareness among general patients tends to be lower. A doctor's assessment is usually needed before starting it, given its narrower range of everyday use.

Medical literature has flagged rare but serious allergic reactions, including skin and kidney related reactions, with this drug class. Regulatory bodies in several countries have restricted its long term use for this reason, and specialists generally recommend it only for short courses under supervision.
