Medicine Description amoflam 100 mg
amoflam 100 mg tablets is a medication that contains aceclofenac, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) designed to alleviate pain and reduce inflammation. The active ingredient works by inhibiting the activity of cyclooxygenase enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2), which play a crucial role in the conversion of arachidonic acid into prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are compounds that mediate inflammatory processes and sensitize pain receptors. By reducing the levels of these inflammatory mediators, amoflam effectively lessens pain, swelling, and stiffness associated with various inflammatory conditions.
