Cox Inhibitors are a type of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that work by blocking the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), which is responsible for the production of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are hormones that cause inflammation and pain. By blocking the production of prostaglandins, Cox Inhibitors reduce inflammation and pain.
