Beflam is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), belonging to the class of drugs known as enolic acid derivatives. It works by blocking an enzyme known as cyclooxygenase or COX-2. This enzyme helps produce prostaglandins (hormone-like substances) which are involved in pain transmission and inflammation.
