Cataflam 50mg Tablets (100's) - Pain Relief for Muscle Aches, Back Pain, Menstrual Cramps & Inflammation

CATAFLAM 50mg Tablets, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) belonging to the benzene-acetic acid class, is formulated to effectively reduce pain and inflammation. It is widely used to treat various types of mild to moderate pain caused by conditions such as muscle aches, back pain, menstrual cramps, dental pain, sports injuries, and other inflammatory disorders. By reducing pain, swelling, and stiffness, CATAFLAM helps patients resume normal activities with greater ease.

CATAFLAM works by inhibiting the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which play a key role in the production of prostaglandins responsible for causing inflammation, pain, and fever. This mechanism of action provides targeted relief for a variety of acute and chronic pain conditions. CATAFLAM is ideal for short-term use in managing pain and inflammation, helping to improve comfort and quality of life.

Whether it's muscle discomfort from overuse, back pain from injury, or the distress of menstrual cramps, CATAFLAM offers quick and effective relief. It is particularly beneficial for individuals who suffer from inflammatory pain, providing lasting relief with minimal interruption to daily activities.

Always follow the prescribed dosage and consult with a healthcare provider before use to ensure safe and effective treatment. CATAFLAM should be used for the shortest duration and at the lowest effective dose to minimize potential side effects.
