Nexmet 25mg Tablet belongs to the group of pain killers known as NSAID's (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs). Nexmet 25mg Tablet is used to relieve symptoms caused by osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and rheumatoid arthritis such as stiffness, swelling and joint pain. Nexmet 25mg Tablet is also used to treat acute gouty arthritis, musculoskeletal pain, lower back pain, period pain, pain following joint and bone surgery. Nexmet 25mg Tablet 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.
