Cobix
Cobix is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that exhibits anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic activities. It works by selectively inhibiting the COX-2 enzyme, which is responsible for causing pain and inflammation, while causing fewer gastrointestinal side effects compared to non-selective NSAIDs.
Dosage by Body Weight
The standard adult dosage is 100 mg to 200 mg taken once or twice daily, depending on the condition being treated. It should be taken with or without food as prescribed by a doctor. Avoid use in patients with active peptic ulcers, severe heart failure, or severe renal/hepatic impairment.
