Brief Answer:
Used to treat pain!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

This is a non steroidal anti inflammatory drug. It works just in the same way as Ibuprofen. The good news is that this drug is unlikely to cause gastric problems which is common with others.


In all, used for fever and pain. Same as Ibuprofen but without the stomach aggression that Ibuprofen causes.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me if need be.
