Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including

Mofezolac is an NSAID ) (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug), which acts via the cyclooxygenase enzyme, preferentially to COX-1. It also has potent inhibitory activity on the algesic responses induced by the mechanical stimulus of the inflamed tissue. It was introduced for the treatment of postoperative and posttraumatic pain, acute upper respiratory tract pain, osteoarthritis, and lumbago. It marketed only in Japan by Yoshitomi Pharmaceutical Ltd. Japan, was approved in July 1994.
