About Ploxira 2 mg Capsules

Ploxira contains Polmacoxib, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with selective COX-2 inhibitory activity. COX-2 contributes to the production of prostaglandins, which are involved in pain and inflammation. By inhibiting this pathway, Polmacoxib can help manage osteoarthritis symptoms.

Ploxira is used for the symptomatic management of osteoarthritis affecting the knee and hip in adults, as prescribed by a doctor. It may help reduce joint pain, stiffness and swelling and support everyday movement. It does not cure osteoarthritis or reverse existing joint damage.
