Mode Of Action
Acemetacin is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. It is also known as an NSAID. It works by blocking a substance in the body called cyclooxygenase (also known as COX) which is involved in the production of certain irritant chemicals in response to injury or rheumatic disease. By blocking the action of COX, Acemetacin reduces the symptoms of pain and inflammation.
