Medicine Description rumaximap 90 mg
rumaximap 90 mg tablets is a medication that primarily functions as a selective inhibitor of the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme. By specifically targeting this enzyme, rumaximap reduces the synthesis of prostaglandins, which are compounds involved in the inflammatory response and the sensation of pain. This selective inhibition allows for effective management of pain and inflammation with a potentially lower risk of gastrointestinal side effects commonly associated with non-selective nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
