Among the popular OTC medicines in Japan are those that contain Loxoprofen. Although not a cold medicine, it has the effect of relieving pain and fever caused by a cold. Specifically, Loxoprofen works by suppressing the production of substances (prostaglandins) that cause pain and inflammation. It is a medicine that relieves pain and swelling caused by inflammation and reduces fever. In Japan, Daiichi Sankyo Healthcare sells it under the brand name "Loxonin S".

Loxonin S is often used for everyday symptoms such as headache, menstrual pain, and fever and can be easily obtained as an over-the-counter medicine. However, because its effect is powerful, caution is required in its use.
