Inhibition of COX Enzymes: Etodolac works by blocking COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes in your body. These enzymes are crucial in producing prostaglandins, which are chemical messengers that cause inflammation, pain, and fever.
Reduction of Inflammatory Responses: By inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, etodolac essentially reduces inflammation and related symptoms. It's this action that contributes significantly to relieving pain and improving mobility in patients with osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis.

Caution is advised while taking Proxym ER Tablet if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.
