Medicine Description moxen 15mg
Moxen 15mg Tablets is a medication that belongs to the class of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It exerts its therapeutic effects primarily through inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, specifically COX-2, which plays a critical role in the synthesis of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are compounds that mediate inflammation, pain, and fever. By reducing the levels of these inflammatory markers, Moxen alleviates symptoms such as swelling and pain associated with various inflammatory conditions. Additionally, it may have a preferential action on COX-2, offering anti-inflammatory benefits with reduced gastrointestinal side effects compared to non-selective NSAIDs.
