Cyclo-oxygenase is involved in producing prostaglandins in response to injury or certain diseases. These prostaglandins cause pain swelling and inflammation. Because NSAIDs block the production of these prostaglandins they are effective at relieving pain and inflammation.Cyclo-oxygenase does not only produce prostaglandins that cause inflammation. It also produces prostaglandins that have useful roles in the body. There are two different forms of cyclo-oxygenase COX-1 and COX-2. COX-2 is the form that (among other things) produces prostaglandins that cause inflammation. COX-1 does not produce inflammatory prostaglandins but does produce others that have useful effects including some that are involved in maintaining a healthy stomach and intestinal lining. Traditional NSAIDs such as ibuprofen or diclofenac block the action of both COX-1 and COX-2 and this is why they can sometimes cause side effects such as stomach irritation and peptic ulcers. Etoricoxib belongs to a new generation of NSAIDs that selectively block the action of COX-2. This means that it stops the production of inflammatory prostaglandins without stopping the production of prostaglandins that protect the stomach and intestines. It therefore reduces pain and inflammation but is less likely than traditional NSAIDs to cause side effects on the stomach and intestines (although such side effects are still possible).This medicine can be taken with or without food but may start to work quicker if taken without food.What is it used for?Acute gout Rheumatoid arthritis Osteoarthritis Buy NUCOXIA Arcoxia and other Prescription Drugs 12 products online at Medstore.

Statins may increase production of the enzyme creatine kinase, and hence heighten chances of muscle damage in athletes. Marathon running has increased in popularity over the past three decades, with participation in the United States rising from 25,000 runners in 1976 to nearly 470,000 in 2008. Many professional and recreational runners take prescription drugs, unaware of potential side-effects that affect runners in particular. One such class of drugs, called statins, which includes medicines such as Lipitor, Crestor and Pravachol, lowers blood cholesterol by inhibiting a cholesterol-producing enzyme and may even lower the risks of heart attack and further cardiovascular disease in a narrow category of patients. A new study forthcoming in the American Journal of Cardiology examined the effect of statins on creatine kinase (CK), an enzyme linked to muscle damage. Elevated levels of CK in the blood and muscle after exercise correlates with muscle damage. The study, conducted by Dr Beth Parker of the Henry Low Heart Centre at Connecticut's Hartford Hospital, is the first to measure CK levels in athletes taking statins after physical activity in a real-life environment rather than in a university laboratory.
