Medicine Description analfan 200mg
Analfan 200mg Tablets is a medication that acts primarily as a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), exerting its effects through the inhibition of cyclooxygenase enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2). This inhibition leads to a decrease in the synthesis of prostaglandins, which are compounds responsible for mediating inflammation, pain, and fever in the body. By reducing prostaglandin levels, Analfan helps to alleviate discomfort associated with various inflammatory conditions and pain syndromes, thereby promoting relief from symptoms without affecting fever regulation.
