It is also used for alleviation of the menstrual pain, before and during the menstrual cycle. It is also used to relieve fever and pain associated with a headache, minor aches, sprains, common cold, toothache, and backache. It also shows the antiplatelet effect which means it prevents the formation of blood clots.

Brugesicp is available in the form of a tablet, chewable tablet, suspension and drops, and syrup. Prescription Brugesicp is taken every 4 to 6 hours for arthritis and pain. Adults and children older than 12 years may take non-prescription Brugesicp every 4 to 6 hours. Children and infants may be given Brugesicp every 6 to 8 hours. It is important to take Brugesicp with food or milk so as to prevent stomach upset. If you are taking Brugesicp every day, remember to take it at the same time. Brugesicp is also available in combination with other drugs for treating cold and cough. If you have prescribed a combination containing Brugesicp, do not take any non-prescription drug containing Brugesicp as it might cause overdosage. Shake the drops and suspensions well before use.

Yes, Brugesicp can cause bleeding problems, ulcers, and perforation in stomach and intestine. These complications might develop during any phase of the treatment without warning symptoms. The risk may be aggravated for people who consume NSAIDs for a long period of time, who are elderly, who have poor health and who drink alcohol while taking Brugesicp. It is important that you talk to your doctor if you ever had ulcers or any kind of bleeding disorders. Talk to your doctor immediately if you start developing symptoms like vomiting with blood, bloody stools, heartburn, and stomach pain
