Medicine Description medexaflam 15mg
Medexaflam 15 mg tablets is a medication that belongs to the class of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Its primary mechanism of action involves the selective inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzymes, which are responsible for the conversion of arachidonic acid into prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are compounds that play a crucial role in the inflammatory response, contributing to pain, swelling, and fever. By inhibiting COX-2, Medexaflam effectively reduces the production of these inflammatory mediators, leading to decreased inflammation, alleviation of pain, and overall improvement in symptoms associated with various inflammatory conditions.
