Frequently asked questions
- Is there a coupon or discount for Profenal?
- pharmaranks is an independent ratings site, not a pharmacy — we don't issue coupons or sell Profenal. To pay less, ask your prescriber or pharmacist whether a generic equivalent exists, check the manufacturer's copay/savings card and patient-assistance program, and compare a pharmacy discount card against your insurance copay. Prices vary by pharmacy, insurance, and location, so always confirm at the counter. This is general reference, not medical or financial advice.

What people report to the FDA about SUPROFEN
The FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) collects reports from patients and clinicians. It holds 82 reports naming SUPROFEN — the active ingredient in Profenal, and the FDA flagged 96% of those reports as serious. The effects reported most often — leaving out reports about overdose, misuse or the condition being treated, which dominate the raw list for common medicines:
- acute kidney injury7 reports
- general physical health deterioration5 reports
- hyponatraemia5 reports
- pyrexia5 reports
- drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms4 reports
- fall4 reports
- febrile neutropenia4 reports
- herpes zoster4 reports
Read these as a signal, not a rate. A report does not mean SUPROFEN caused the effect — anyone can file one, and many describe people taking several medicines for several conditions. Crucially there is no denominator: FAERS does not record how many people took the drug, so these counts cannot be turned into “X% of patients” — a bigger number often just means a more widely used or more talked-about drug. Duplicates exist, and publicity drives reporting. For what is actually established, read the FDA label.
