Buflex Tablet 1000 mg is a prescription-strength nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that contains Nabumetone as its active ingredient. It is widely used for the management of pain, inflammation, and stiffness associated with various musculoskeletal and joint disorders. Buflex is especially beneficial for patients suffering from chronic inflammatory conditions such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, helping improve daily mobility and overall quality of life.

Nabumetone is known for its long-acting pain-relieving properties and comparatively better gastrointestinal tolerability than some other traditional NSAIDs when used as directed.

Composition

• Active Ingredient: Nabumetone 1000 mg

• Dosage Form: Tablet

• Pharmacological Class: Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug (NSAID)

Mechanism of Action

Nabumetone is a prodrug that is converted in the liver into its active metabolite, 6-methoxy-2-naphthylacetic acid (6-MNA). This active form works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which are responsible for the synthesis of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins play a key role in causing pain, swelling, and inflammation. By reducing their production, Buflex Tablet helps relieve pain, decrease inflammation, and reduce joint stiffness.
