Etymology

Oruvail is a brand name for a pain medicine, a kind of drug called an NSAID that contains ketoprofen and helps reduce pain and swelling. A helpful way to remember the name is to see it as made of Oru- which sounds like 'oral' meaning 'by mouth', and -vail which is like 'avail' meaning 'to help', so it feels like a medicine you take by mouth to help relieve pain.
