أقراص فلوربيبروفين للألم والالتهاب

About flurbiprofen

Flurbiprofen is a type of مسكنات الألم المضادة للالتهابات called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

It is used to treat painful conditions such as التهاب المفاصل, الالتواءات والإجهادات, period (menstrual) pain, and الصداع النصفي pain. It is also prescribed to ease pain after surgical operations.

Flurbiprofen is also available as eye drops and as throat lozenges.

Flurbiprofen works by blocking COX enzymes in the body. These enzymes help produce prostaglandins, chemicals that cause pain and inflammation at injured areas.

When flurbiprofen blocks COX enzymes, fewer prostaglandins are made, so pain and inflammation decrease.

Common side effects of flurbiprofen include:

• عسر الهضم.

• Heartburn (reflux).

• ألم في المعدة.

• الشعور بالغثيان.

• التقيؤ.

• الإسهال.

• الإمساك.

• الإرهاق.

• Fluid retention (oedema).

You will find a full list of side effects in the manufacturer's information leaflet supplied with your medicine.

غالبًا ما تتحسن الآثار غير المرغوب فيها مع تكيف جسمك مع الدواء الجديد، ولكن تحدث مع طبيبك أو الصيدلي إذا استمرت أي آثار جانبية أو أصبحت مزعجة.

• Read the leaflet that comes with the medicine before you start. It explains how flurbiprofen works and lists possible side effects.

  • For other conditions, the usual dose is 150-200 mg per day, split into doses.
