Tolectin is prescribed for symptomatic relief of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. It helps reduce joint pain, swelling, stiffness, and improves physical function in affected patients.
As an NSAID, Tolectin inhibits cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which reduces the production of prostaglandins. Lower prostaglandin levels lead to decreased inflammation, pain, and fever.
Like other NSAIDs, Tolectin carries risks of gastrointestinal bleeding, cardiovascular events, and kidney impairment. It should be used at the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration. Patients with aspirin-sensitive asthma, active peptic ulcers, or severe heart failure should avoid this medication. Always take with food or milk to reduce stomach upset.
