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.
Non-selective cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2) inhibitor, thereby decreasing prostaglandin synthesis, which mediates inflammation, pain, and fever.
150-200 mg orally twice daily, with maximum daily dose of 400 mg.
50 mg orally every 4 to 6 hours as needed; maximum 300 mg per day.
