Ventoxen 100 mg Tablet should be taken orally, with or without food. Taking with food may reduce the risk of gastrointestinal upset. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water; do not crush, chew, or break it.

Ventoxen selectively inhibits cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), an enzyme responsible for the synthesis of prostaglandins, which are mediators of pain and inflammation. By inhibiting COX-2, Ventoxen reduces the production of these inflammatory mediators, thereby alleviating pain and inflammation with a potentially lower risk of gastrointestinal side effects compared to non-selective NSAIDs.

• •Known hypersensitivity to ventoxen or any component of the formulation.
• •History of asthma, urticaria, or other allergic-type reactions after taking aspirin or other NSAIDs.
• •Active gastrointestinal bleeding or ulceration.
• •Severe renal or hepatic impairment.
• •Severe heart failure.

Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C. Protect from light and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.

Symptoms of overdose may include drowsiness, lethargy, nausea, vomiting, epigastric pain, and gastrointestinal bleeding. Rare symptoms include hypertension, acute renal failure, respiratory depression, and coma. Management is symptomatic and supportive. There is no specific antidote. Gastric lavage or activated charcoal may be considered if ingestion is recent.

Pregnancy Category C (first and second trimesters); Category D (third trimester). Avoid in late pregnancy due to potential for premature closure of the fetal ductus arteriosus. Use during lactation only if the potential benefit outweighs the potential risk to the infant. Consult a doctor.
