Medicine Description cataflam 75mg
Cataflam 75mg Ampoules is a medication that primarily acts by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins, which are compounds in the body that mediate inflammation, pain, and fever. This inhibition occurs through the blockade of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, specifically COX-1 and COX-2. By reducing prostaglandin levels, Cataflam alleviates pain and decreases inflammation, making it effective for various inflammatory conditions and pain syndromes. The rapid absorption of diclofenac potassium allows for quick onset of action, providing symptomatic relief.
