Prostaglandin H2 synthesis is reduced COX-1 synthesizes prostaglandins necessary for normal gastrointestinal and renal function. COX-2 is responsible for prostaglandin synthesis during tissue injury and inflammation. Inhibition of COX-2 provides anti-inflammatory activity. Prostaglandin E2 is responsible for inflammation and pain by activating immune cells and stimulating pain fibres. Lower concentrations of prostaglandin E2 lowers inflammatory and pain response, hence an analgesic effect is seen. Decreasing PGE2 in the central nervous system also has an antipyretic effect. Inflamed cell Glycol salicylate is administered as a cream/ointment/solution on the skin. Created with Snap
