What is "indoprofen"

n. A nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, withdrawn in the 1980s after reports of gastrointestinal bleeding.

Indoprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. It was withdrawn worldwide in the 1980s after postmarketing reports of severe gastrointestinal bleeding.

A 2004 study using high-throughput screening found indoprofen to increase production of the survival of motor neuron protein, suggesting it may provide insight into treatments for spinal muscular atrophies.
