How it works
COX inhibition reduces prostaglandin-driven nociceptor sensitisation in inflamed muscle. Anti-inflammatory effect reduces swelling and the chemical mediators driving muscle pain.
Short-term use for significant acute muscle injury or pain is appropriate. Avoid regular use for DOMS as prostaglandins play a role in muscle adaptation. Use lowest effective dose for shortest duration.
