Description
Indications
Nabumetone is indicated for the management of pain, tenderness, swelling, and stiffness resulting from osteoarthritis (a degenerative joint disease characterized by the erosion of joint cartilage) and rheumatoid arthritis (an autoimmune disorder that causes inflammation of the joints).
Nabumetone belongs to the class of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and functions by stopping the body’s production of a substance that causes pain, fever, and inflammation.
Uses and Dosage
Follow your physician’s instructions when taking this medication orally, usually once or twice a day with a full glass of water (8 ounces or 240 milliliters).
After taking the medication, do not recline for at least 10 minutes. To prevent stomach irritation, consume it with food, milk, or an antacid.
The dosage of this medication is determined by your medical condition and response to therapy. To mitigate the likelihood of adverse effects such as stomach bleeding, use the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration feasible. Do not increase your dose or frequency of administration beyond the prescribed level.
For chronic diseases like arthritis, continue taking the medication as prescribed by your physician. Consult with your doctor or pharmacist about the potential benefits and hazards.
In some cases, it may take up to 2 weeks of regular use before experiencing the full benefits of the medication, particularly in conditions like arthritis.
If you are using this medication on an “as needed” basis (not on a regular schedule), keep in mind that pain relievers work best if they are used when pain first appears. Delaying until the pain worsens may result in reduced effectiveness of the medication.
If your condition worsens, inform your doctor.
