Mechanism of Action for Ibuprofen 800 mg tablets:

Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by targeting the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX). This enzyme is responsible for the production of prostaglandins, which are lipids that trigger inflammation, pain, and fever. Ibuprofen inhibits the production of prostaglandins by blocking the action of COX.

By inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, ibuprofen reduces inflammation, pain, and fever. It also helps to lower blood pressure and prevent blood clots. The mechanism of action for ibuprofen is similar to that of aspirin, but it is a more potent COX inhibitor and therefore has a stronger anti-inflammatory effect.

Ibuprofen cannot target specific areas of the body, so it affects the entire body. It is absorbed into the bloodstream from the gastrointestinal tract, where it binds to albumin protein and is distributed to tissues throughout the body. The liver breaks down the drug into inactive metabolites, which are then eliminated from the body through the kidneys in urine.
