Mechanism of action
Serotonin 2 receptors; 5-HT2a & 5-HT2c activator
- CyclooxygenaseINHIBITOR
Cyclooxygenase inhibitor
Benzydamine is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug that acts partly through an inhibitory effect on the phospholipase A2 by diminishing the liberation of arachidonic acid from phospholipids, and partly as a weak inhibitor of prostaglandin G/H synthase 1 and 2 by reducing the production of prostaglandins.
Weak inhibitotor of COX-1 and COX-2.
