Medicine Description ketolgin 200mg
Ketolgin 200mg Capsule is a medication that belongs to the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) class, primarily acting through the inhibition of cyclooxygenase enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2). By blocking these enzymes, Ketoprofen reduces the production of prostaglandins, which are compounds responsible for the onset of pain, inflammation, and fever. This mechanism effectively alleviates discomfort associated with various musculoskeletal and inflammatory conditions by diminishing the inflammatory process and decreasing the sensitivity of pain receptors, leading to relief from symptoms such as swelling, pain, and stiffness.
