Antrafenine
Antrafenine
Antrafenine (pronunciation: an-tra-fe-nin) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is used for the treatment of pain and inflammation.
Etymology
The term "Antrafenine" is derived from the chemical structure of the drug, which contains an anthranilic acid moiety and a phenyl ring. The name is a combination of "antra" from anthranilic and "fenine" from phenyl.
Usage
Antrafenine is primarily used to relieve pain and reduce inflammation in conditions such as arthritis, menstrual pain, and other types of acute pain. It works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, chemicals that cause inflammation and pain in the body.
Side Effects
Like other NSAIDs, Antrafenine can cause side effects such as stomach upset, nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, and drowsiness. In rare cases, it can cause serious side effects like heart attack, stroke, and stomach or intestinal bleeding.
