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.
