Mode of action

Cobix 200mg contains the active ingredient celecoxib. Celecoxib selectively inhibits the activity of the COX-2 enzyme. COX-2 is an enzyme that plays a vital role in the production of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are substances that promote inflammation, pain, and fever. By inhibiting COX-2, celecoxib reduces the synthesis of prostaglandins, particularly those involved in the inflammatory response. This leads to a decrease in the formation of prostaglandins that cause pain and inflammation.
