Medicine Description medexaflam 7.5mg
Medexaflam 7.5 mg tablets is a medication that belongs to the class of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Its primary action involves the inhibition of cyclooxygenase enzymes, specifically COX-1 and COX-2, which play a crucial role in the synthesis of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are lipid compounds that mediate inflammation, pain, and fever. By reducing the levels of these inflammatory mediators, Medexaflam effectively alleviates pain and minimizes inflammation associated with various arthritic conditions. This reduction in prostaglandin levels leads to decreased swelling and discomfort in affected joints, ultimately enhancing the patient's mobility and overall quality of life.
