Description

Rofecoxib is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that has now been withdrawn over safety concerns. Rofecoxib exhibits anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic activities in animal models. The mechanism of action of rofecoxib is believed to be due to inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis, via inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). At therapeutic concentrations in humans, rofecoxib does not inhibit the cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) isoenzyme. Studies to elucidate the mechanism of action of fofecoxib in the acute treatment of migraine have not been conducted.
