Arcoxia is a drug used for various conditions such as acute and chronic treatment of the symptoms of various conditions such as osteoarthritis and more, but also relief of chronic musculoskeletal pain, and other forms of acute pain. It's important to keep in mind the fact that the drug is quite controversial considering the fact that in 2007, it has been banned from the United States, due to the risks it possess alongside with dangerous side effects. However, the drug is still available in many regions outside of the United States, with a doctor's prescription.

 

How exactly does the drug work?

To put things better into perspective, Arcoxia belongs to a family of medicines known as COX-2 inhibitors. Based on this, the drug manages to reduce pain and inflammation by blocking the effects of both COX-1 and COX-2 in the body. In return, this leads to symptom relief which can be quite efficient when compared to that which is offered by other medicines.

 

What should patients know prior to taking the drug?

To kick things off, there is a risk associated with Arcoxia, which is why it is essential to let your doctor know about any health conditions that you are suffering from. These include kidney, liver and heart disease, but also allergies to any of the substances that the drug contains.

The drug should only be taken according to the dosage prescription written by your physician as doses tend to vary based on various factors. Based on this, do not take larger or smaller doses, and take the medicine for as long as directed.

While taking the pill, there are a couple of self-help measures that you can take on in order to further relive the symptoms that you are suffering from. Some of these include regular exercise, losing some weight, support devices and hot and cold treatments. Do talk about any self-help measure with your doctor prior to applying it to help avoid any issues later down the line.

 

What are the side effects associated with the pill?

At this moment in time, some of the most common side effects of Arcoxia include allergic reactions, taste alteration, headaches, confusion, anxiety, insomnia, nausea, high blood pressure and more. In case more severe side effects appear, then let your doctor know as soon as possible.
If you have missed a dose, simply take the next one as scheduled. In case of an overdose, it is important to seek emergency medical help.
Currently, the drug can be purchased outside the United States from authorized online and local pharmacies.
