What is Bextra and how does it work?
How Bextra Works
Bextra belongs to a new class of drugs called COX-2 inhibitors. These are newly developed drugs for inflammation that selectively block the COX-2 enzyme. Blocking this enzyme impedes the production of the chemical messengers that cause the pain and swelling of arthritis inflammation. Cox-2 inhibitors are a new class of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Because they selectively block the COX-2 enzyme and not the COX-1 enzyme, these drugs are uniquely different from traditional NSAIDs such as asprin, ibuprofen, naxopren, piroxicam, or nabumetone.
