A non-selective COX inhibitor
Eltenac is a non-selective COX inhibitor (IC50 = 0.03 µM for both COX-1 and COX-2 in isolated human whole blood) and a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID).1 In vivo, eltenac (1 mg/kg) reduces lameness in horses with tendinitis, pododermatitis, navicular disease, non-infectious arthritis, degenerative joint disease, phalanx fracture, and osteochondrosis.2 It also reduces castration-induced edema in horses. Formulations containing eltenac have been used in the treatment of postoperative swelling in horses.
