Firocoxib Vetnil® COX-2 Selective Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Gel

Firocoxib Vetnil® Gel is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug with highly selective activity on COX-2, containing a concentration of 1.2% of the Firocoxib molecule in its composition. Its main mechanism of action is the selective inhibition of Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), an enzyme that plays an important role in the inflammatory cascade and, consequently, in the animal's pain. In this sense, Firocoxib spares the inhibition of COX-1, a constitutive enzyme related to physiological mechanisms, such as gastric mucus production, renal perfusion and platelet homeostasis, reducing the side effects commonly observed due to the use of non-selective non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

• Selective anti-inflammatory action on COX-2

• Safe, effective and versatile

• Ideal for medical, surgical and equine reproduction clinics.
