Medicine Description ketolgin- 2.5%
Ketolgin 2.5% Gel is a medication that contains ketoprofen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). When applied topically, ketoprofen inhibits the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), which plays a crucial role in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are chemical messengers that promote inflammation, pain, and fever. By decreasing the levels of prostaglandins in the affected area, Ketolgin gel effectively reduces inflammation and alleviates pain, providing localized relief without the systemic effects often associated with oral NSAIDs. This localized action makes it particularly beneficial for treating conditions affecting the muscles and joints, as it delivers targeted relief directly to the site of discomfort while minimizing potential side effects in other body systems.
