Relafen, available through a doctor's prescription, has been proven effective in reducing the pain and inflammation of both rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. In clinical trials, Relafen reduced pain and inflammation for thousands of people with arthritis around the world. Relafen is not recommended for women who are pregnant or nursing. People who have had an allergic reaction to any other arthritis or pain medication should not use Relafen.
Medications work differently for each individual.
While most people tolerate Relafen well, some may experience side effects such as diarrhea, heartburn, and abdominal pain. In rare cases, there could be more serious side effects such as stomach ulcers and intestinal bleeding. Relafen, however, has been found to have a low potential for such ulcers. Any question regarding a medical diagnosis, treatment, referral, drug availability or pricing should be directed to either a licensed physician or to the product's manufacturer.
