How it works
COX inhibition reduces prostaglandins released by the herniated disc material that directly sensitise and inflame the affected nerve root. Anti-inflammatory effect may reduce neural oedema.
More effective for acute disc-related sciatica than for sciatica from spinal stenosis or piriformis syndrome. Use for the shortest effective period. Monitor renal function with prolonged use.
