Description
Etodolac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by inhibiting the enzymes cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2), which play a key role in the production of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are compounds involved in inflammation, pain, and fever, making them a target for pain management. Etodolac selectively inhibits COX-2, which is primarily responsible for inflammation and pain, while sparing COX-1, which protects the gastrointestinal lining. This selectivity results in effective pain relief with a lower risk of gastrointestinal side effects compared to traditional NSAIDs.
