General Description

2-[(2-Chlorobenzoyl)amino]-4-(methylsulfonyl)butanoic acid, also known as Etodolac, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is commonly used to relieve symptoms such as pain and inflammation. It works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, which are responsible for causing pain, swelling, and fever in the body. Etodolac is often prescribed for conditions such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, as well as for the treatment of acute pain. Its chemical structure includes a chlorobenzoyl group, an aminobutanoic acid, and a methylsulfonyl group, all of which contribute to its pharmacological activity. Etodolac is typically administered orally in tablet form, and its use may be associated with side effects such as gastrointestinal discomfort, dizziness, and increased risk of cardiovascular events.
