About Optanol OD 600mg Tablet SR

Optanol OD 600mg Tablet SR belongs to the class of other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and antirheumatic products used to treat osteoarthritis.

The risk of osteoarthritis increases with increasing age.

Optanol OD 600mg Tablet SR contains ‘Oxaceprol’. It shows anti-inflammatory and analgesic (pain relief) action by inhibiting the accumulation of leukocytes (white blood cells) in the affected area or joints. This effect also helps to reduce symptoms such as pain, swelling, and stiffness.
