Mobipharm Tablets | Meloxicam

If you have experienced a lot of joint pain, you must be familiar with the name of the drug Meloxicam or Mobipharm tablets. Meloxicam is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug that is known as a pain reliever with its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic properties. Kish Medipharm Pharmaceutical Company has been able to provide significant help in the field of pain relief by producing Mobipharm tablets, which is the trade name of the drug Meloxicam.

Mechanism of action of Mobipharm tablets | Meloxicam

To understand the mechanism of action of meloxicam, you must first be familiar with the term prostaglandin. There are enzymes in the body called cyclooxygenase, these enzymes increase the secretion of prostaglandins that cause pain. In fact, Mobipharm tablets, with their effects, can block cyclooxygenase enzymes and prevent the production of prostaglandins, which ultimately leads to a reduction in pain and inflammation in the body. Unlike some other NSAIDs, meloxicam inhibits the COX-1 enzyme to a lesser extent, which has a protective role in the stomach and kidneys. For this reason, meloxicam usually causes fewer gastrointestinal side effects than non-selective NSAIDs. In general, the mechanism of action of Mobipharm tablets will reduce pain and inflammation.

As mentioned, Mobipharm tablets can reduce pain by inhibiting prostaglandins and are produced in two doses of 7.5 mg and 15 mg.
