HIDE SMILES / InChI
BENOXAPROFEN is an anti-inflammatory drug indicated for the treatment of arthritis. It was marketed under the brand name ORAFLEX® in the US and as OPREN® in Europe by Eli Lilly and Company. In 1982 Eli Lilly voluntarily withdrew BENOXAPROFEN from the market due to postmarketing reports of severe liver toxicity in patients who took it.
