Daypro (Oxaprozin) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It is used to reduce pain, swelling, and joint stiffness from arthritis. It may be used for rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. It works by reducing hormones that cause inflammation and pain in the body.
