Medicinal Benefits:

Ancap 75mg Capsule SR belongs to the group of painkillers known as NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs). Ancap 75mg Capsule SR is used to relieve symptoms caused by osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and rheumatoid arthritis, such as stiffness, swelling and joint pain. Ancap 75mg Capsule SR is also used to treat acute gouty arthritis, musculoskeletal pain, lower back pain, period pain, and pain following joint and bone surgery. Ancap 75mg Capsule SR 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, fewer PGs are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site.
