ISOPROFEN is an anti-inflammatory agent with analgesic and antipyretic properties. Its anti-inflammatory potency is greater than that of phenylbutazone but lower than that of indomethacin. Its antipyretic action can be explained by an effect of this substance on the metabolism of arachidonic acid in the brain.
