Ansaid

Ansaid, or Flurbiprofen, is used to relieve pain, tenderness, swelling, and stiffness caused by osteoarthritis. It does have other applications for general pain relief, but it is primarily used by those who know that the pain they are experiencing is a direct or indirect result of osteoarthritis.

Flurbiprofen is in a class of medications called NSAIDs. It works by stopping the body’s production of a substance that causes pain, fever, and inflammation. Other medications in this classification include ibuprofen and other pain relievers.

How Does Ansaid Treat Migraines?

Since Ansaid is usually prescribed for those with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or ankylosing spondylitis, it doesn’t really claim to be the best at treating migraines or any other non-arthritis related ailment.

Risks of Ansaid

Flurbiprofen may cause side effects. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:

• headache

• vomiting
• gas
• constipation

Conclusion

We would not recommend Ansaid for the treatment of migraines. It is designed for those suffering from arthritic pain, and it also comes with far too many potential side-effects to be worth considering for migraine treatment.
