ETHIONE 15 CR

About

ETHIONE 15 CR is a controlled-release formulation designed for enhanced and prolonged therapeutic action, delivering a higher dose of its active ingredient compared to its 10mg counterpart. As a hypothetical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), it functions by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins, which are crucial mediators in the pathways of pain, inflammation, and fever. The sustained-release mechanism ensures a consistent drug concentration in the bloodstream over an extended period, which is particularly advantageous for managing chronic inflammatory conditions and persistent pain. This higher dosage is typically prescribed when a more potent anti-inflammatory or analgesic effect is required, providing effective symptom control and improving the quality of life for patients suffering from conditions that necessitate continuous medication.
