What Is Nabumetone Used For?

Nabumetone prescription medication, marketed under the brand name Relafen, is a type of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Nabumetone medication is utilized for treating people with symptoms of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis - both acute and chronic. Nabumetone has various effects in the body, including analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory ones. Like its NSAID counterparts celecoxib (Celebrex), diclofenac (Pennsaid, Voltaren), etodolac (Lodine), ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), meloxicam (Mobic) and naproxen (Naprosyn), nabumetone tablets are thought to interfere with the production of inflammatory compounds such as prostaglandins through interference of the cyclooxygenase enzymes.
