WHAT REVCOX IS USED FOR
Celecoxib
is
used
for
pain
relief
and
to
alleviate swelling of tissue in the degenerative
joint
disease
(osteoarthritis),
inflammatory
rheumatic joint disease (rheumatoid arthritis)
and
in
certain
types
of
inflammation
of
intervertebral joints (ankylosing spondylitis).
HOW REVCOX WORKS
Revcox belongs to a group of medicines called
cyclo-oxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors. These
work
by
lowering
the
amount
of
prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are substances
made
by
your
body.
Some
prostaglandins
cause
pain
and
swelling,
but
others
help
protect the stomach lining. Revcox reduces the
production of prostaglandins that cause pain
and swelling and not the ones that protect the
stomach.
