Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that inhibits cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2), reducing prostaglandin synthesis, thereby exerting anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic effects. Sulindac is a prodrug converted to the active sulfide metabolite.
Selective inhibitor of soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH), increasing levels of epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), which have vasodilatory, anti-inflammatory, and antifibrotic effects.
150-200 mg orally twice daily, with maximum daily dose of 400 mg.
