Medicine Description indomin 25mg
Indomin 25mg Capsule is a medication that operates by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins, which are compounds responsible for inflammation, pain, and fever within the body. Specifically, it blocks the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, COX-1 and COX-2, involved in the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins. By reducing the levels of these inflammatory mediators, Indomethacin alleviates pain and decreases swelling in various inflammatory conditions, making it effective in providing symptomatic relief from conditions like arthritis and gout.
