Etoricoxib 120mg Tablets (Atoxia) – 7’s | Fast Relief for Pain & Inflammation
Atoxia 120mg contains Etoricoxib, a selective COX-2 inhibitor that provides effective relief from pain and inflammation. Belonging to the class of NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs), Atoxia is specially formulated for short-term use in conditions where fast pain management is needed.
Indications:
- Acute gout attacks
- Post-operative pain (including dental surgery)
- Severe episodes of musculoskeletal pain
- Flare-ups of arthritis or ankylosing spondylitis (as prescribed by your doctor)
Unlike older NSAIDs, etoricoxib primarily targets the COX-2 enzyme, reducing pain and swelling while minimizing irritation to the stomach lining.
