Oxaprozin: a new NSAID.
Oxaprozin, a propionic acid derivative, is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with analgesic and antipyretic properties. Its spectrum of anti-inflammatory activity has been demonstrated in both in vitro and in vivo models.1 The majority of published clinical trials have focused on the use of oxaprozin (from Searle) in the treatment of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
