Starpir 20mg Tablet MD belongs to the group of pain killers known as NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs). Starpir 20mg Tablet MD is used to relieve symptoms associated with osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis, such as stiffness, swelling, and joint pain. Starpir 20mg Tablet MD works by blocking the effect of a chemical messenger in the body, known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that make another chemical prostaglandins.
