Clinical Benefits:

• Provides effective analgesic action for rapid relief of mild to moderate pain from various causes (joint, muscle, dental, and post-operative pain).
• Exerts strong anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting cyclo-oxygenase (cox) enzymes and reducing prostaglandin synthesis at sites of inflammation.
• Helps reduce fever (antipyretic effect) associated with inflammatory conditions.
• Improves mobility and functional capacity in patients with arthritis and joint disorders by decreasing pain, swelling, and stiffness.
