Nabuton Tablet 500 mg contains Nabumetone, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve pain and inflammation in various musculoskeletal conditions. It is commonly prescribed for long-term management of arthritis and other chronic inflammatory disorders. Nabumetone is known for its comparatively lower risk of gastrointestinal irritation than many traditional NSAIDs, making it a suitable option for patients requiring prolonged therapy.

Mechanism of Action

Nabumetone is a prodrug that is metabolized in the liver to its active form. It works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which are responsible for producing prostaglandins—the substances that cause pain, inflammation, and swelling. By reducing these chemicals, it helps alleviate pain and improves joint mobility.
