Ansaid

Flurbiprofen works by inhibiting the production of certain substances in the body called prostaglandins, which are responsible for pain and inflammation. By reducing the levels of prostaglandins, Ansaid helps alleviate pain and reduce inflammation.

Medicament is available in various forms, including tablets and capsules, and it is typically taken by mouth. The dosage and duration of treatment will vary depending on the specific condition being treated and individual patient factors.

How to use

Here are some general guidelines on how to use Ansaid:

1. Timing: Medicament is typically taken orally with a full glass of water, preferably with food or milk to help minimize the risk of stomach upset.
2. Do not crush or chew: Swallow the Ansaid tablet or capsule whole. Do not crush, chew, or break it.
3. Avoid alcohol: While taking Ansaid, it is important to avoid alcohol consumption. Combining alcohol with Flurbiprofen can increase the risk of stomach bleeding and other complications.
4. Duration of treatment: Follow the prescribed duration of treatment. Do not stop taking Ansaid abruptly, even if you start to feel better. Abruptly stopping NSAID medications may lead to rebound symptoms or other adverse effects.
