Nabu Tablet 750 mg contains Nabumetone, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) designed to relieve pain, inflammation, and stiffness associated with musculoskeletal disorders. It is commonly prescribed for conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. Nabumetone works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, the chemicals responsible for pain, swelling, and inflammation, helping to improve mobility and enhance quality of life for patients with chronic joint conditions.

Composition

• Active Ingredient: Nabumetone 750 mg

Mechanism of Action

Nabumetone is a prodrug that is metabolized in the liver into its active form, which selectively inhibits cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes. By reducing prostaglandin synthesis:

• Pain and swelling in affected joints and muscles are alleviated
• Inflammation is controlled
• Joint function and mobility improve
  Its relatively selective COX-2 inhibition helps reduce gastrointestinal irritation compared to some traditional NSAIDs.
