Todoflam-600 ER Tablet 10's works by blocking the effect of a chemical messenger in the body, known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that make another chemical prostaglandins. These prostaglandins are produced at injury sites 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. Thus, Todoflam-600 ER Tablet 10's helps treat pain associated with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
