What is the Mode of Action of Etodolac Extended Release Tablets? 

Etodolac Tablets belong to the drug class known as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). The working mechanism of the Etodolac tablet involves inhibiting the activity of enzymes called cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2). These are responsible for producing prostaglandins, chemicals that contribute to inflammation, pain, fever, and swelling. Hence, Etodolac lowers the prostaglandin production, which reduces swelling, stiffness, and pain
