Description

Oruvail is an oral extended-release capsule containing a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NAID) called Ketoprofen. We carry the generic alternative of this medication in 200mg!

Oruvail is used to treat a variety of conditions that cause pain. Primarily, this capsule helps to relieve pain caused by arthritis. This medication may also help with any swelling, joint stiffness, or fever that may also be present in those with arthritis. For chronic conditions such as arthritis, you may want to ask your doctor about non-drug treatments and/or using other medications as well to help treat your pain.

Oruvail (Ketoprofen) is effective in treating pain due to ketoprofens ability to block out the production of certain natural substances in the body from occurring. When this action is blocked, so is the inflammation.

Use this medication exactly the way your doctor has prescribed it to you. Do not take more or less of a dose, or for longer periods than recommended.

You may take with medication with food or milk if medications usually upset your stomach. Avoid chewing, crushing, or breaking the capsule open; swallow it whole. Avoid lying down for 10 minutes following the dose.

Store at room temperature in a low risk area of moisture, heat, and light.
