POLVOLT 2MG
Product Description
POLVOLT 2MG tablet is a prescription selective COX-2 inhibitor non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve pain, swelling, and stiffness in osteoarthritis, especially of the knee and hip joints. It belongs to the coxib anti-inflammatory class and is designed for effective pain control with improved gastrointestinal tolerability compared with some traditional NSAIDs. The active ingredient POLMACOXIB works by selectively blocking COX-2–mediated prostaglandin production while also showing weak carbonic anhydrase inhibition, helping reduce inflammation, morning stiffness, and movement-related pain. POLVOLT 2MG tablet is commonly available in 2 mg strength, usually taken once daily after meals for chronic osteoarthritis symptom relief under doctor supervision.
Pharmacist Note
Take POLVOLT 2MG tablet after food at the same time each day to reduce stomach irritation. Avoid using other painkillers like diclofenac, ibuprofen, or aspirin unless prescribed, as this may increase bleeding and kidney risks. Inform your doctor if you have ulcer history, uncontrolled BP, swelling, or heart disease.
