You should contact your physician with regard to any health issues or concerns.Overview: Acamprosate (when available) Valdecoxib, a selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor, is classified as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Valdecoxib is used for its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic activities in the management of osteoarthritis (OA) and for the treatment of dysmenorrhea or acute pain. Unlike celecoxib, Valdecoxib lacks a sulfonamide chain and does not require CYP450 enzymes for metabolism. For the treatment of osteoarthritis and dysmenorrhoea Mechanism Of Action: Both COX-1 and COX-2 catalyze the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandin (PG) H2, the precursor of PGs and thromboxane. Valdecoxib selectively inhibits the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme, important for the mediation of inflammation and pain. Unlike non-selective NSAIDs, Valdecoxib does not inhibit platelet aggregation.
