Mechanism Of Action - Enzyme Inhibitor

Inhibits Cycloo­xyg­enase (COX): COX-1 and COX-2 helps in the production of prosta­gla­ndins, which are respon­sible for aiding the inflam­matory response by acting as a vasodi­lator and inhibiting the aggreg­ation of blood platelets.
Antipy­retic Properties: Can be used to treat fever. Works on the hypoth­alamus by inhibiting prosta­glandin E2 (PGE2) via COX, which raises the thermal set point.
COX-1 acts on the mucosa lining of the stomach to keep it from being eroded away by stomach acid.
COX-2 does not act on the lining of the stomach, so certain NSAIDs which work on COX-2 but not COX-1 are preferable to keep the function of the stomach intact and protected.
