Etoricoxib 60mg Tablets (Atoxia) 10’s – Pain Relief for Arthritis, Osteoarthritis & Chronic Inflammation
Atoxia 60mg Tablets contain etoricoxib, a selective COX-2 inhibitor from the NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) class, specially formulated to provide effective and long-lasting relief from chronic pain and inflammation.
Etoricoxib works by blocking the COX-2 enzyme, reducing the release of substances that cause pain, swelling, and stiffness, while minimizing gastric irritation compared to traditional NSAIDs.
Atoxia 60mg is commonly prescribed for:
- Osteoarthritis
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Ankylosing spondylitis
- Chronic musculoskeletal pain
By targeting inflammation at its source, Atoxia helps patients improve mobility, reduce discomfort, and enhance their quality of life.
