Morazone

Morazone is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is used for the treatment of pain and inflammation in the body. It is a derivative of pyrazolone, and is also known as difenamizone.

Mechanism of Action

Morazone works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, chemicals that cause inflammation and pain in the body. It does this by blocking the action of an enzyme called cyclooxygenase (COX), which is involved in the production of prostaglandins.

• Arthritis
