Firocoxib (CAT: I002443) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) belonging to the class of selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors. It is primarily used in veterinary medicine for the treatment of pain and inflammation associated with musculoskeletal disorders in dogs and horses. Firocoxib works by selectively inhibiting COX-2, an enzyme involved in the production of inflammatory mediators called prostaglandins. By targeting COX-2, firocoxib helps to reduce pain, inflammation, and swelling. This medication is commonly prescribed for conditions such as osteoarthritis and postoperative pain in animals. It provides an effective and targeted approach to managing pain and improving the quality of life in veterinary patients.
