Medicine Description dolphin-k 75mg
Dolphin-K 75mg Supp is a medication that belongs to the class of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Its primary mechanism of action involves the inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, specifically COX-1 and COX-2. By blocking these enzymes, Dolphin-K reduces the synthesis of prostaglandins, which are compounds that mediate inflammation, pain, and fever. The decrease in prostaglandin levels leads to a reduction in inflammation and alleviates pain associated with various conditions, such as arthritis and musculoskeletal disorders, making it effective in managing a range of inflammatory and painful conditions without the use of corticosteroids.
