Substance: parecoxib (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug)
ATC: M01AH04 (Musculo-skeletal system | Antiinflammatory and antirheumatic products, non-steroids | Coxibs)
Parecoxib is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used for the treatment of acute postoperative pain. It is a selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor that reduces inflammation and pain without significantly affecting the gastric mucosa.
The medication is administered intravenously or intramuscularly, as directed by your doctor. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and not to use the medication long-term without medical supervision.
Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, injection site reactions, or, in rare cases, severe allergic reactions or kidney function impairment.
Patients should inform their doctor about any other medications being used or pre-existing conditions, such as cardiovascular or kidney diseases, to ensure the safe use of parecoxib.
