Polmacoxib Capsules 2 mg
₹199.00
Polmacoxib 2 mg capsules are a prescription non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) primarily used for the treatment of osteoarthritis of the hip and knee. They are available for purchase from online and local pharmacies, but require a doctor’s prescription.
Key Information
- Uses: Polmacoxib is primarily indicated for relieving the signs and symptoms of idiopathic (primary) osteoarthritis of the hip/knee. It is also used to manage general inflammatory pain and stiffness.
- Mechanism of Action: It is a selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor, meaning it targets the enzyme responsible for inflammation and pain, while minimizing gastrointestinal side effects associated with non-selective NSAIDs.
- Dosage: The typical recommended dose for adults is 2 mg once daily after a meal, and should not exceed 2 mg/day. The safety of long-term administration (more than 6 months) has not been fully established, and treatment response should be re-evaluated regularly.
- Availability: This medication is a prescription drug and is not available over-the-counter. It can be found under various brand names, including Artixol, Polvolt, Jointrova, and Polmakem.
Potential Side Effects and Warnings
Common side effects of Polmacoxib can include nausea, vomiting, heartburn, dizziness, stomach pain, gas, constipation, or diarrhea.
Important warnings and precautions:
- Cardiovascular Risks: Polmacoxib may increase the risk of serious cardiovascular events such as heart attack and stroke, especially with long-term use. Patients with pre-existing heart disease or risk factors should use it with caution and under medical supervision.
- Gastrointestinal Risks: Serious gastrointestinal adverse events, including bleeding, ulcers, and perforation, can occur without warning symptoms.
- Contraindications: Do not take Polmacoxib if you are allergic to sulfonamides, aspirin, or other NSAIDs, or if you have uncontrolled high blood pressure, active peptic ulcers, or severe liver/kidney impairment.
- Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: It is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women.
Always consult a doctor before starting any new medication to ensure it is safe for your specific condition and to discuss any potential interactions with other drugs you may be taking.
