Oxaprozin, also known as oxaprozinum, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID),[2] used to relieve the inflammation, swelling, stiffness, and joint pain associated with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Chemically, it is a propionic acid derivative. Safety and efficacy has been established in children over 6 years with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis only, and there is an increased risk of adverse reactions in the elderly population.

It was patented in 1967 and approved for medical use in 1983.[3]
