Medicine Description dolphin-k 25mg
Dolphin-K 25mg Tablets is a medication classified as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). 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 inflammatory mediators. This leads to decreased inflammation, alleviation of pain, and reduction of fever. By lowering prostaglandin levels, it not only mitigates pain but also contributes to the management of inflammation associated with various musculoskeletal conditions.
