proxate

Proxate is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve pain and inflammation. It is commonly prescribed for conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. Proxate works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals that cause pain and inflammation in the body.

Proxate is available in various forms, including tablets, capsules, and liquid suspensions. It is typically taken orally, with or without food, as directed by a healthcare provider. The usual dosage ranges from 200 to 600 mg per day, divided into two or three doses.

Common side effects of proxate may include stomach upset, nausea, and headache. Serious side effects are rare but can include stomach ulcers, bleeding in the stomach or intestines, and kidney problems. Proxate should be used with caution in individuals with a history of stomach ulcers, kidney disease, or liver disease.

Proxate is generally well-tolerated, but as with any medication, it is important to follow the prescribed dosage and consult a healthcare provider if any side effects occur. Proxate should not be used in individuals with known allergies to NSAIDs or in those who are taking certain medications that can interact with proxate. Always follow the advice of a healthcare professional when using proxate or any other medication.
