Rofecoxib has a half-existence of 17 hours and its mean oral bioavailability at restoratively suggested dosages of 125,25,and 50 mg is roughly 93%. The proteins that rofecoxib target incorporate elastin and prostaglandin G/H synthase Cytochrome P4501A2, Cytochrome P4503A4, Cytochrome P4502C9, Cytochrome P4502C8, and Prostaglandin G/H synthase1 are known to processor of Rofecoxib.
