Ogicam Injection belongs to the group of pain killers known as NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) used to treat musculoskeletal pain. It is also used to relieve symptoms associated with osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis, such as stiffness, swelling, and joint pain. Ogicam Injection works by blocking the effect of a chemical messenger in the body, known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that make another chemical prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are produced at the injury site and cause pain and swelling. By blocking the effect of COX enzymes, fewer prostaglandins are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site.
