Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis (OA), also known as osteoarthritis, degenerative joint disease and bone hyperplasia, is one of the most common joint diseases. The disease not only damages the articular cartilage, but also affects the entire joint, including the subchondral bone, ligaments, joint capsule, synovium and muscles around the joint, eventually leading to articular cartilage degeneration, fibrosis, fracture, ulceration and damage to the entire joint surface. Typical clinical manifestations include pain, stiffness and joint deformity.

NABUMETONE- nabumetone_tablet, film coated
Indication: Osteoarthritis:
The use of nabumetone in relieving the signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis (OA) was assessed in double-blind, controlled trials in which 1,047 patients were treated for 6 weeks to 6 months. In these trials, nabumetone in a dose of 1,000 mg/day administered at night was comparable to naproxen 500 mg/day and to aspirin 3,600 mg/day.
Rheumatoid Arthritis:
The use of nabumetone in relieving the signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) was assessed in double-blind, randomized, controlled trials in which 770 patients were treated for 3 weeks to 6 months. Nabumetone, in a dose of 1,000 mg/day administered at night, was comparable to naproxen 500 mg/day and to aspirin 3,600 mg/day. In controlled clinical trials of rheumatoid arthritis patients, nabumetone has been used in combination with gold, d-penicillamine, and corticosteroids. In clinical trials with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis patients, most patients responded to nabumetone in doses of 1,000 mg/day administered nightly; total daily dosages up to 2,000 mg were used. In open-labelled studies, 1,490 patients were permitted dosage increases and were followed for approximately 1 year (mode). Twenty percent of patients (n = 294) were withdrawn for lack of effectiveness during the first year of these open-labelled studies. The following table provides patient exposure to doses used in the US clinical trials: Table 2. Clinical Double-Blinded and Open-Labelled Trials of nabumetone in Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis As with other NSAIDs, the lowest dose should be sought for each patient. Patients weighing under 50 kg may be less likely to require dosages beyond 1,000 mg; therefore, after observing the response to initial therapy, the dose should be adjusted to meet individual patients'' requirements.
