Effectiveness

How Oxaprozin Affects PatientsOxaprozin is a type of medication used to reduce pain, inflammation, and fever. It is commonly used for treating rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and menstrual cramps.
How Oxaprozin works in the bodyOxaprozin works to reduce inflammation by blocking the creation of molecules that cause inflammation. It also helps lower fever by causing more blood to flow to the body's surface, which helps it cool down. Oxaprozin is not selective, meaning it affects both molecules that cause inflammation and molecules that help protect the stomach.

Oxaprozin for Rheumatoid Arthritis
At first, this medication provided relief from the pleurisy in both of my lungs. However, now it doesn't seem to be doing anything. It's still difficult for me to breathe and I'm still experiencing chest pain.
