Medicine Description moxen 7.5mg
Moxen 7.5mg Tablets is a medication that belongs to the class of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Its primary mechanism of action involves the selective inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzymes. This inhibition leads to a decrease in the synthesis of prostaglandins, which are lipid compounds responsible for mediating pain, inflammation, and fever. By reducing the levels of these inflammatory mediators, Moxen effectively alleviates pain and inflammation associated with various musculoskeletal conditions and other inflammatory disorders.
