Scientific Evidence
Dexibuprofen, the active ingredient in Zotec-200, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that exhibits both analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. It works by inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase, thereby reducing the production of prostaglandins which are responsible for pain and inflammation.
- Studies show that dexibuprofen provides pain relief comparable to traditional ibuprofen but with potentially fewer gastrointestinal side effects due to its specific enantiomeric structure.
Additional Information
Zotec-200 coated tablets offer a convenient and effective option for managing various types of pain. It is important to follow the recommended dosage and not exceed the maximum daily dose to avoid adverse effects.
