Medicine Description ultrafen 100mg
Ultrafen 100mg Syrup is a medication that belongs to the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) class. Its primary active ingredient, ibuprofen, functions by inhibiting the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, specifically COX-1 and COX-2. This inhibition reduces the synthesis of prostaglandins, which are inflammatory mediators responsible for pain, fever, and inflammation.
