Nope, Cox-2 is an enzyme produced by the body
Prostaglandin-endoperoxide_synthase_2, also known as cyclooxygenase-2 or COX-2.

When inhibited by Cox-2 inhibitors (NSAIDS) like Celebrex, they can reduce swelling and pain.

There is evidence that pain medications other than opioids are as effective if not more. That is good news for the makers of those medications, the NOPAIN act should benefit them.

Nonetheless, NSAIDS are not opioids, and the question in play is whether or not BIEL has sufficient evidence that RecoveryRx will reduce the use of opioids. There doesn't appear to be any such clinical evidence.
