Mechanism of action

Imagine your body has a fire alarm system that goes off when there's an injury or infection. Prostaglandins are like the alarm signals that tell your body to send in the pain and inflammation fighters. Trilisate blocks these alarm signals, so your body doesn't send in the pain and inflammation fighters as much, which helps to reduce pain and inflammation.
