ACTON-OR TAB 10'S

About

ACTON-OR TAB is formulated as a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) designed to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and lower fever. Its therapeutic action involves the inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which are crucial in the synthesis of prostaglandins, mediators of pain and inflammation. This mechanism provides effective relief for various inflammatory conditions and pain syndromes. The medication is typically well-absorbed orally, reaching therapeutic concentrations that target affected tissues. It undergoes hepatic metabolism and renal excretion. Due to its anti-inflammatory properties, ACTON-OR is particularly beneficial in managing conditions where both pain and inflammation are prominent, offering a comprehensive approach to symptomatic relief. Careful consideration of dosage and patient-specific factors is essential to optimize efficacy and minimize potential adverse effects.
