Q

What is it’s Mechanism of Action?

A

Inactivates cyclooxygenase (COX) enzyme which decreases the production of prostaglandins in the tissue, blocking the pain receptor’s sensitivity, and decreases inflammation. Due to this inactivation of COX, thromboxone A2 production is also inhibited, which is responsible for platelet aggregation.
