Pelubiprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug of the profen class used to treat back pain and osteoarthritis.[1]

Pelubiprofen was developed in South Korea by Daewon Pharmaceuticals and it is marketed in Korea and Russia,[2] among other countries.

Research

Pelubiprofen is being studied for use in combination with eperisone.[3]

Because pelubiprofen has low water solubility, development of salt formulations with better solubility are being studied.[4]
