Valdecoxib 

(Brand name: Bextra) 

Valdecoxib ( val-de-KOX-ib ) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (also called NSAIDs) are used to relieve some symptoms caused by arthritis (rheumatism), such as inflammation, swelling, stiffness, and joint pain. However, this medicine does not cure arthritis and will help you only as long as you continue to take it. It may also be used to treat pain associated with menstrual periods.

Once-daily prescription, Valdecoxib provides the kind of 24-hour relief many arthritis sufferers are looking for. It’s tough on pain and inflammation. And there’s one convenient dose that’s powerful enough to tackle both the pain of osteoarthritis and adult rheumatoid arthritis.

How does Valdecoxib work?


Valdecoxib is a powerful medicine that targets an important source of arthritis pain. Valdecoxib is what doctors call a “COX-2 specific inhibitor”. The body produces both COX-2 and a related enzyme called COX-1. The COX-2 enzyme plays a role in causing arthritis pain and inflammation. The COX-1 enzyme is important because one of the things it does is help the body produce chemicals that protect the lining of the stomach. 

Valdecoxib works by targeting the action of the COX-2 enzyme to relieve the pain, stiffness and inflammation associated with arthritis. But, at recommended doses, Valdecoxib does not target the COX-1 enzyme. 


Who should not take Valdecoxib?

Valdecoxib is not for everyone. Prescription Valdecoxib should not be taken if you’ve had allergic reactions to certain drugs called sulfonamides, aspirin or other arthritis medicines or if you’ve had aspirin-sensitive asthma. It is not recommended if you have advanced kidney disease.

Valdecoxib should not be taken in late pregnancy. Tell your doctor if you have kidney, liver or fluid retention problems. In rare cases, serious stomach problems such as bleeding can occur without warning. Serious skin reactions can occur. If you experience any of these problems or other severe or unusual symptoms while taking Valdecoxib, tell your doctor immediately.

The most common side effects are headache, abdominal pain, indigestion, upper respiratory infection, nausea and diarrhea.
