Celebrex - non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. It has antiinflammatory, febrifugal and analgesic effect, slows down aggregation of thrombocytes. Oppressing COX-2, reduces quantity of Pg (preferentialy in the inflammation center), suppresses exudative and proliferative phases of inflammation. At prescribtion in high doses, prolonged use or specific features of an organism the selectivity decreases.
NSAIDs; has an anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic effect associated with the suppression of COX1 and COX2 that regulate the synthesis of Pg. Used to inhibit miosis during surgery of cataracts in the treatment of inflammatory processes caused by surgery.
