1. Basic information about Loxonin

The active ingredient in Loxonin is called "loxoprofen sodium."

This drug belongs to a group called "NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs)."Among the same group,

• Ibuprofen

• Acetaminophen (※Strictly speaking, its effects are slightly different)

These are some examples.

2. Background of Loxonin Development

Loxonin is a drug developed in Japan.

Pain relievers have existed for a long time, but conventional medications had major problems.

■ Challenges of pain relievers in the past

• I have an upset stomach.

• There is a risk of stomach ulcers.

• Difficult to use for a long time

While it was effective in relieving pain, the "burden on the stomach" was a major concern.

■That's where Loxonin was developed.

Loxonin was developed to alleviate this problem.

The most important point is👉 "A prodrug that transforms into an effective form within the body."

That's the design.
