Mechanism of action

Depression and schizophrenia are inflammatory diseases. Increased levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and prostaglandin E (PGE) have repeatedly been described in major depression. COX-2 inhibitors inhibit production of both. Cimicoxib is a selective COX-2 inhibitor. The mechanism by which some COX-2 inhibitors work in depression could be linked to their anti-inflammatory mechanisms.

Interactions

Drug Interactions
This information should not be interpreted without the help of a healthcare provider. If you believe you are experiencing an interaction, contact a healthcare provider immediately. The absence of an interaction does not necessarily mean no interactions exist.
DrugInteraction
AbacavirCimicoxib may decrease the excretion rate of Abacavir which could result in a higher serum level.
AbciximabThe risk or severity of bleeding and hemorrhage can be increased when Cimicoxib is combined with Abciximab.
AcebutololCimicoxib may decrease the antihypertensive activities of Acebutolol.
AceclofenacThe risk or severity of adverse effects can be increased when Cimicoxib is combined with Aceclofenac.
AcemetacinThe risk or severity of adverse effects can be increased when Cimicoxib is combined with Acemetacin.
