Cloxyfonac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is primarily used to reduce pain and inflammation in both human and veterinary medicine. It works by inhibiting the activity of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, particularly COX-2, which are involved in the production of prostaglandins, chemicals that promote inflammation and pain. By blocking these enzymes, cloxyfonac effectively reduces swelling, pain, and fever associated with conditions like arthritis and soft tissue injuries. Its anti-inflammatory effects make it useful in the treatment of both acute and chronic inflammatory conditions.
