Nabumetone
Generic alternative to Relafen
Nabumetone is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to reduce pain, inflammation, and fever. It is often prescribed for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Unlike other NSAIDs, nabumetone is a prodrug, meaning it is converted in the body to its active form which is then responsible for its therapeutic effects.
How is this medication used?
Nabumetone should be taken orally, usually once or twice daily with or without food or as directed by your healthcare provider. It's important to follow the dosage prescribed by your healthcare provider to minimize risk of side effects.
What are the possible side effects?
Common side effects of nabumetone include stomach pain, constipation, diarrhea, gas, heartburn, nausea, dizziness, and headache. More serious side effects might include high blood pressure, kidney problems, liver problems, gastrointestinal bleeding, and an increased risk of heart attack or stroke.
What are the potential interactions?
Nabumetone can interact with several other medications. It should be used with caution with anticoagulants (like warfarin), aspirin, other NSAIDs, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, and diuretics. Alcohol and tobacco may also increase the risk of stomach bleeding when taken with nabumetone.
