Medicine Description soral 20mg
Soral 20mg Capsule is a medication that belongs to the class of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It primarily works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals in the body that promote inflammation, pain, and fever. Tenoxicam, the active ingredient, exerts its anti-inflammatory effects by selectively inhibiting cyclooxygenase enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2). This inhibition reduces the synthesis of prostaglandins, leading to decreased inflammatory responses and alleviation of pain. Additionally, tenoxicam possesses analgesic properties that contribute to its effectiveness in managing pain associated with various conditions.
