KOGLOK TAB 10'S

About

Koglok Tab is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used for its analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic properties. It works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, specifically COX-1 and COX-2, which are responsible for the synthesis of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are lipid compounds that mediate inflammation, pain, and fever. By reducing prostaglandin production, Koglok Tab effectively alleviates pain, reduces inflammation, and lowers fever. It is commonly prescribed for various conditions, including musculoskeletal pain, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and dysmenorrhea.

The medication is well-absorbed orally and provides symptomatic relief for acute and chronic inflammatory conditions. While effective, its use requires careful consideration due to potential gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, and renal side effects, especially with long-term use or in susceptible individuals. It is important to use the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible duration to minimize risks.
