It is a non steroid anti inflammatory, used for arthritis, bursitis, tendinitis,etc..
It may take time for it to build up in your system before you get relief or it might work more quickly, it is an individual thing.
Any drugs in the family of non-steroids have side affects and should not be taken for long periods without talking with a doctor.
