Ibuproxam is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID).It is the hydroxamic acid of ibuprofen to which it is hydrolyzed in the blood. It was found, that ibuproxam is considerably less damaging to the gastrointestinal tract than is ibuprofen. The analgesic and the antipyretic activities are consistent.[1]
