Medicinal Benefits

Artid 75mg Capsule SR belongs to the group of pain killers known as NSAID's (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs). Artid 75mg Capsule SR is used to relieve symptoms caused by osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and rheumatoid arthritis such as stiffness, swelling and joint pain. Artid 75mg Capsule SR is also used to treat acute gouty arthritis, musculoskeletal pain, lower back pain, period pain, pain following joint and bone surgery. Artid 75mg Capsule SR works by blocking the effect of a chemical messenger in your body, known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that make another chemical 'prostaglandins' (PG). These prostaglandins are produced at injury sites and cause pain and swelling. By blocking the effect of COX enzymes, lesser PGs are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site.
