商品名：Deramaxx
Deracoxib is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Like other drugs in this class, deracoxib produces analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins. The enzyme inhibited by NSAID is the cyclo- oxygenase (COX) enzyme. The COX enzyme exists in two isoforms called COX-1 and COX-2. COX-1 is primarily responsible for synthesis of prostaglandins important for maintaining a healthy GI tract, renal function, platelet function, and other normal functions. COX-2 is induced and responsible for synthesizing prostaglandins that are important mediators of pain, inflammation, and fever. However, it is known that there is some crossover of COX-1 and COX-2 effects in some situations and COX-2 activity is important for some biological effects. Deracoxib, usin
