Comprehensive Drug Guide

How Does Profinac Work?

Profinac works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which are responsible for the production of prostaglandins, chemicals that promote inflammation, pain, and fever. By blocking COX enzymes, Profinac helps reduce these symptoms in conditions like arthritis or after surgery.
