Essential insights

• Selective COX-2 Inhibition: Robenacoxib inhibits cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), an enzyme central to the production of prostaglandins involved in pain and inflammation.
• Minimal Impact on COX-1: By primarily targeting COX-2, Robenacoxib reduces pain and inflammation while minimizing side effects related to COX-1 inhibition, such as gastrointestinal and renal protection.
• Rapid Clearance: Robenacoxib is quickly cleared from the bloodstream but accumulates in inflamed tissues, prolonging its therapeutic effects.
