Etoricoxib (Etcox) 90mg Tablets – 30’s | Pain Relief for Arthritis, Gout & Inflammation
Etoricoxib (Etcox) 90mg is a prescription-strength non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) designed to relieve pain and inflammation. As a selective COX-2 inhibitor, it targets the enzymes responsible for pain and swelling while being gentler on the stomach compared to traditional NSAIDs.
Etcox 90mg is commonly prescribed for:
- Osteoarthritis (joint pain and stiffness)
- Rheumatoid arthritis (chronic inflammatory joint disease)
- Ankylosing spondylitis (spinal inflammation)
- Acute gout attacks
- Short-term relief of post-surgical or dental pain
By lowering prostaglandin production, Etoricoxib effectively reduces pain, swelling, and stiffness, helping you regain comfort and mobility.
