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