– Etoricoxib for Pain, Arthritis & Inflammation
Arcoxia 120mg Tablets 28’s contain etoricoxib, a selective COX-2 inhibitor used for the relief of pain and inflammation in conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, gout, and post-surgical pain.
Unlike traditional NSAIDs, etoricoxib selectively inhibits the COX-2 enzyme, which reduces pain and inflammation while minimizing the risk of stomach irritation and ulcers commonly associated with non-selective NSAIDs.
Arcoxia 120mg is typically prescribed for short-term use in acute pain conditions, including dental pain, gout attacks, and post-operative pain, as well as for long-term management of arthritis.
