Stage 2 pain is defined as pain that interferes with sleep or causes the occasional lost day at work. On a scale of 1 to 10 Stage 2 pain would range from 4-7.
Cobroxin is believed to work by targeting some of the same receptors on nerve cells that are also recognized by nicotine. These nicotine receptors are found in nerves outside the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and they are also found on cells of the immune system. Specialized proteins in Cobroxin block the action of acetylcholine, a major stimulating neurotransmitter in the nervous system and activator of the inflammatory pathways. As a result, the pain and inflammation pathways are temporarily shut off. In some clinical studies, Cobroxin could provide prolonged relief.
Once pain is under control the levels of drug may be reduced to maintain the pain relief and then Cobroxin can be taken on an as needed basis. If you miss a dose take it again when you think of it.
Cobroxin is not toxic but there may be some minor unpleasant side effects. These may consist of nausea, headache and upset stomach.
A reduction in pain of 50% to 80% is considered successful. The existence of a little residual pain is preferred to remind you of your condition. You may feel well but activities that provoke your pain should be avoided if possible. Following strenuous activity the administration of an extra dose of Cobroxin may be helpful.
