Medicine Description ketogesic 100mg
Ketogesic 100mg Supp is a medication that contains ketoprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Its therapeutic effects are primarily attributed to the inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which are essential for the biosynthesis of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are lipid compounds that mediate inflammation, pain, and fever. By blocking COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes, ketoprofen reduces the production of these inflammatory mediators, leading to decreased pain and inflammation. This mechanism is particularly effective in treating conditions associated with acute pain, chronic pain, and inflammatory disorders, providing relief from discomfort and improving quality of life for patients suffering from a variety of pain-related conditions.
