Synalgo Tablet Uses

Synalgo tablet is an NSAID primarily used for the treatment of pain, joint stiffness, and swelling due to arthritis. However, it can also be taken for toothache, period cramps and other types of body aches due to inflammation.

Inflammation is part of the immune response and helps in the body's defense. However, it can be triggered by the body without the presence of any pathogen, causing harm to the normal tissue then. It also stimulates the nerves, leading to pain in the body as well.

Synalgo stops the production of the chemical mediators that are responsible for triggering inflammation and pain in the body. Since inflammation is common in arthritis and osteoarthritis, Synalgo are generally used to treat these chronic ailments.

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like Synalgo are also used in the treatment of toothache. Synalgo tablet is also prescribed for the treatment of other bodily aches, especially menstrual cramps. However, it is less potent than similar painkillers.
