Also, this makes it possible for the doctor to provide a good level of analgesia without too much loss of motor function. Due to the fall in circulating blood volume, peripheral perfusion of tissues is a consideration. This in turn leads to osteoporosis and potential occurrence of fractures. Cyclo-oxgenase pathway 2 inhibitors It would appear from our description of COX1 as good prostaglandin formation and COX2 as bad prostaglandin formation that an obvious solution to the problem would be to come up with a group of drugs that first inhibited the COX2 pathway.
