Medicine Description nova-profen 100mg
Nova Profen 100 mg 100 ml Syrup is a medication that belongs to the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) class, primarily acting through the inhibition of cyclooxygenase enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2). By blocking these enzymes, the synthesis of prostaglandins, which are compounds that mediate inflammation and pain signals, is reduced. Consequently, this action leads to decreased inflammation, alleviation of pain, and a reduction in fever by acting on the hypothalamus to regulate body temperature. These combined effects make ibuprofen effective in managing symptoms associated with various inflammatory conditions, pain, and febrile states.
