Ruxocap-25 Capsule 10's is used to relieve symptoms caused by osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and rheumatoid arthritis such as stiffness, swelling and joint pain. Ruxocap-25 Capsule 10's is also used to treat acute gouty arthritis, musculoskeletal pain, lower back pain, period pain, pain following joint and bone surgery. Ruxocap-25 Capsule 10's works by blocking the effect of a chemical messenger in your body, known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that make another chemical 'prostaglandins' (PG). These prostaglandins are produced at injury sites and cause pain and swelling. By blocking the effect of COX enzymes, lesser PGs are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site.
