Product Introduction
Plavoxib 2 Capsule contains Polmacoxib, a Selective Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor used to manage pain and inflammation in conditions such as osteoarthritis. By selectively inhibiting COX-2 enzymes, it reduces inflammation and discomfort while minimising effects on COX-1, thereby lowering the incidence of gastrointestinal adverse effects associated with traditional NSAIDs. This medication is indicated for long-term pain management, particularly in patients where conventional NSAIDs carry increased risk of adverse effects.
Caution is advised when prescribing to patients with a history of cardiovascular conditions, gastrointestinal bleeding, or severe hepatic or renal impairment. Plavoxib 2 Capsule should be used only under medical supervision. Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding should seek advice from their healthcare provider before commencing treatment. The medication is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to Polmacoxib or other NSAIDs. Adherence to the prescribed dosage and prompt reporting of any unusual symptoms will help maximise therapeutic benefit while minimising potential risks.
