Answer»

Right option is (d) Indomethacin

The explanation is: PHENYLBUTAZONE is a powerful anti-inflammatory drug. Piroxicam has a half-life of 45 hours and thus can be administered once a day. Ibuprofen is a propionic acid derivative has the same potency as acetyl SALICYLATE but better tolerated. Indomethacin is an indole derivative more potent than ASA but inferior at doses tolerated by rheumatoid arthritis patients, QUITE toxic.
