GlossaryProstaglandin Antagonists

block the action of lipid compounds involved in inflammation

Prostaglandin Antagonists, also known as Prostaglandin Inhibitors, are substances that block the action of prostaglandins, which are lipid compounds involved in various physiological processes such as inflammation, pain, and fever. By inhibiting these compounds, prostaglandin antagonists can help reduce symptoms associated with conditions like arthritis, menstrual pain, and certain types of hair loss, such as alopecia.
