Firocoxib is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) belonging to the Coxib group, which acts by selective inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) – mediated prostaglandin synthesis. PREVICOX tablets are for the relief of pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis in dogs.
Firocoxib is approximately 96% bound to plasma proteins. Following multiple oral administrations, the steady state is reached by the third daily dose.
Firocoxib is metabolised predominantly by dealkylation and glucuronidation in the liver. Elimination is principally in the bile and gastrointestinal tract.
PREVICOX chewable tablets are scored to facilitate accurate dosing and contain caramel and smoke flavours to facilitate administration to dogs.
Mode of action: Firocoxib is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that acts by selective inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) – mediated prostaglandin synthesis. COX-2 is the isoform of the enzyme that has been postulated to be primarily responsible for the synthesis of prostanoid mediators of pain, inflammation, and fever. In in-vitro canine whole blood assays, firocoxib exhibited approximately 380-fold selectivity for COX-2 over COX-1.
