Lynide 5mg Capsule

About

This medication is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) formulated as a 5mg capsule, primarily utilized for its analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic effects. Its therapeutic action is mediated through the inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, specifically COX-1 and COX-2, which are responsible for the biosynthesis of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are lipid compounds that play a crucial role in mediating pain, inflammation, and fever responses in the body. By reducing prostaglandin synthesis, this NSAID effectively alleviates symptoms associated with various inflammatory conditions, musculoskeletal pain, and mild to moderate acute pain. It is typically prescribed for short-term management to minimize potential gastrointestinal and cardiovascular risks associated with long-term NSAID use. Careful consideration of patient history and concurrent medications is essential to ensure safe and effective treatment.
