Description

Furofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug that inhibits the production of prostaglandins by blocking cyclooxygenase. Furofenac has been shown to be effective in treating inflammatory bowel disease, but can cause damage to the bowel lining when taken for long periods of time. Furofenac may also cause metabolic disorders, such as an increased risk of developing diabetes mellitus type 2. Furofenac also has antimicrobial effects against bacteria and fungi. It is used as a component in detergent compositions for use in hospitals and other healthcare facilities where bacterial growth may be a problem. Furofenac may have some growth factor activity, which is thought to be due to its ability to inhibit the production of cytokines from macrophages and monocytes.
