Medicine Description ketolgin 100mg
Ketolgin 100mg Ampoules is a medication belonging to the class of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Its active ingredient, ketoprofen, works by inhibiting the activity of cyclooxygenase enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2), which play a critical role in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are compounds that mediate inflammation, pain, and fever. By blocking these enzymes, ketoprofen effectively reduces the formation of prostaglandins, leading to diminished inflammatory responses and pain relief. This mechanism allows Ketolgin to be effective in various painful conditions, providing symptomatic relief while also addressing inflammation at the site of injury or disease.
