How Does It Work?

Equioxx contains firocoxib, a COX-2 selective inhibitor, which targets the enzymes responsible for pain and inflammation in horses. By specifically inhibiting COX-2, Equioxx reduces inflammation without significantly affecting COX-1, which protects the stomach lining. This selectivity makes Equioxx effective in reducing pain and inflammation while minimizing gastrointestinal side effects, providing your horse with safe and sustained relief.
