NSAIDs. It belongs to the class of oxycams, is a derivative of enolic acid. It has anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic effects. The mechanism of action is associated with a decrease in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins as a result of the inhibition of the enzymatic activity of COX. At the same time, Movalis has a more active effect on COX-2, which participates in the synthesis of prostaglandins in the inflammatory focus, which reduces the risk of side effects on the upper gastrointestinal tract and slightly affects COX-1.
