COX Inhibitors

COX Inhibitors are drugs used to reduce inflammation and pain. They work by blocking an enzyme called cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), which produces hormones that trigger inflammation. COX Inhibitors are sometimes prescribed for the relief of pain caused by osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other conditions. They may also be used for the management of chronic pain and inflammation. Studies have found that COX Inhibitors may be effective in reducing the symptoms of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other chronic pain conditions, while also reducing the risk of serious side effects. Other potential benefits include reducing risk of stroke and heart attack, improving blood sugar control, and lowering blood pressure.
