Medicine Description soral 20mg
Soral 20mg Supp is a medication that contains tenoxicam, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It exerts its therapeutic effects by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals responsible for inflammation, pain, and fever. Tenoxicam achieves this by blocking the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, particularly COX-2, which plays a significant role in the inflammatory response. By reducing prostaglandin levels, tenoxicam alleviates pain and reduces inflammation in conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system, making it effective for managing various types of pain, particularly those associated with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
