Medicine Description mobic 15mg
Mobic 15mg Supp is a medication classified as a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), specifically a preferential inhibitor of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). It exerts its therapeutic effects by inhibiting the enzymatic activity of COX-2, which plays a crucial role in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are lipid compounds that mediate inflammation, pain, and fever. By reducing the synthesis of these inflammatory mediators, Mobic effectively alleviates symptoms associated with inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, leading to decreased pain, swelling, and stiffness.
