Answer:

The main mechanism of action of NSAIDs is the inhibition of the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX). Cyclooxygenase is required to convert arachidonic acid into thromboxanes, prostaglandins, and prostacyclins. [9] The therapeutic effects of NSAIDs are attributed to the lack of these eicosanoids.NSAIDs relieve fever by inhibiting COX-mediated prostaglandin synthesis. Upon exposure to external pyrogens, mostly pathogen-associated molecular patterns (lipopolysaccharide, peptidoglycan, viral RNA, etc.), cells of the innate immune system respond by releasing endogenous pyrogens to induce pyrexia.We provide sound evidence that diclofenac 150 mg/day is the most effective NSAID available at present, in terms of improving both pain and function,” writes Dr da Costa.
