Firocoxib, sold under the brand names Equioxx and Previcox among others, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug of the COX-2 inhibitor (coxib) class, approved for use in horses (Equioxx) and for use in dogs (Previcox).[1][3][6] Firocoxib was the first COX-2 inhibitor approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for horses.[7] Firocoxib is not intended or approved for use in human medicine.[1][3][4][5][8]
Firocoxib manufactured by Merial was approved for veterinary use in the United States for dogs in July 2004,[9] and for horses in July 2007 as an oral paste (EQUIOXX) and July 2016 as tablets.[10][11]
Firocoxib is also available as a generic medication for horses[11] and for dogs.[9]
