Medicine Description ketoprek 75mg
Ketoprek 75mg Capsule is a medication that contains ketoprofen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals in the body that promote inflammation, pain, and fever. Ketoprek achieves this by blocking the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, specifically COX-1 and COX-2, which play a crucial role in the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins. By reducing the levels of prostaglandins, ketoprofen alleviates pain and diminishes inflammation, contributing to its efficacy in managing various inflammatory and painful conditions.
