Description
Cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors effectively relieve osteoarthritis symptoms when taken in the morning and better results are obtained in rheumatoid arthritis when it is taken in the evening. For achieving longer duration of action and better compliance, drug levels are required to be maintained above effective therapeutic concentration for 24 hours in a day. Sustained release system achieves slow release of drug, which maintains the drug levels in blood or target tissue over an extended period of time.
