Phenylbutazone is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used for the treatment of pain and inflammation associated with conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, or gout. It works by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis, reducing inflammation and pain.

The medication is administered orally or via injection, as directed by your doctor. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and avoid long-term use due to the risk of adverse effects.

Side effects may include gastrointestinal irritation, fluid retention, increased blood pressure, or, in rare cases, severe reactions such as gastric ulcers or kidney impairment.

Patients should inform their doctor about any other medications being used or pre-existing conditions, such as gastrointestinal or kidney diseases, to ensure the safe use of phenylbutazone.
