Anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect derives from reduced prostaglandin synthesis; the cardiovascular and renal class effects of NSAIDs apply, with the standard FDA Boxed Warning for cardiovascular thrombotic events and gastrointestinal bleeding.</vote> Once-daily dosing is a clinical advantage over short-half-life NSAIDs<ref name="mobic-label" />. | |||
