Tiaprofenic acid

DB01600ApprovedSmall moleculeAnti-Inflammatory Agents, Non-Steroidal

Tiaprofenic acid is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) used to manage inflammation and analgesia associated with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Tiaprofenic acid is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug employed in the treatment of pain, particularly arthritis pain.

Mechanism: Tiaprofenic acid belongs to a group of medicines called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It works by blocking the production of a chemical (prostaglandin) which the body produces in response to injury or certain diseases. This prostaglandin would otherwise go on to cause swelling, pain and inflammation.
