Loxoprofen sodium is a medication that belongs to the class of drugs known as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It is primarily used to relieve pain, inflammation, and fever. The drug works by inhibiting the activity of cyclooxygenase enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2), which are involved in the production of prostaglandins, chemicals in the body that cause pain and inflammation.
Loxoprofen sodium exerts its effects by inhibiting the activity of cyclooxygenase enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2). By blocking these enzymes, Loxoprofen sodium reduces the production of prostaglandins, which are responsible for causing pain, inflammation, and fever. This mechanism helps to alleviate symptoms associated with various conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and other inflammatory diseases.
It is commonly prescribed for the relief of pain, inflammation, and fever associated with conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, menstrual cramps, and other inflammatory diseases. In some cases, it may also be used off-label for other painful or inflammatory conditions under close medical supervision.
