Description

Equioxx (Firocoxib): This is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used frequently in equine medicine as an anti-inflammatory and pain reliever, especially associated with musculoskeletal disease. Equioxx is a COX-2 selective NSAID, meaning it is generally considered to be more specific for its anti-inflammatory properties with fewer potential side effects on the GI tract or kidneys when used long term. Equioxx is prescribed most commonly for cases of arthritis or lameness. It is available as a tablet or oral paste.
