HOW DAXOCOX® WORKS
DAXOCOX® PROVIDES CONSISTENT PAIN CONTOL FOR A WHOLE WEEK WITHOUT OVER-ACCUMULATION, DUE TO ITS 7-DAY PHASIC PHARMACOLOGY
- Enflicoxib is absorbed and slowly metabolised into an active pyrazol metabolite, with long lasting COX-2 selective inhibitory action
- Once formed, the active pyrazol metabolite binds to red blood cells and plasma proteins
- Phases of slow formation and slow elimination of the active pyrazole metabolite create a balance which maintains the levels required in the blood for consistent pain management for 7 days
- Pyrazol metabolite levels remain stable above the minimum effective concentration (MEC), providing consistent pain management while staying far below levels where toxicity may be observed (MTC)
- Enflicoxib concentrations are reduced to basal levels before the next dose is due
This is what gives Daxocox® its unique extended efficacy – consistent pain relief that reduces the risk of breakthrough pain, with no risk of over accumulation after repeated weekly administration.
