Previcox, known generically as firocoxib, is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) specifically designed for use in dogs. Its mechanism of action involves selectively inhibiting the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme, which plays a key role in the inflammatory process. By targeting COX-2, Previcox reduces pain and inflammation while minimizing the gastrointestinal side effects often associated with non-selective NSAIDs that also inhibit COX-1.
