Autodolac drug information

Medication Information: Anti-inflammatory painkillers such as Autodolac are sometimes called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or only anti-inflammatory drugs. Autodolac is used to reduce pain and inflammation in rheumatoid diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Autodolac works by inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase in the body. These enzymes cause the body to make a substance called prostaglandins. Some prostaglandins are produced at the site of injury and cause pain and inflammation. By inhibiting the effect of cyclooxygenase, less prostaglandins are produced, which means less pain and inflammation.
